About the Project
A 2-hour exhibition and performance motivated by the recent devastating tsunami in Japan in 2011. The cart holding two humidity drenched plastic domed carry two wet clay nuclear towers with a geometric placed series of fired clay tiles in the bottom tray. The tiles got shuffled around as it moved from place to place on campus across parking lots and through doors. In parade fashion, gathering viewers as it went, it relocated in three different locations during the 2-hour schedule.
Viewers wore headphones to cut down on noisy distractions, enabling the listening, with a good imagination, to the fear associated with the climactic event in daily life. Unwittingly, most participants did not know they were standing 90 miles from the South Texas Project Electric Generating Station, a nuclear power plant just southwest Houston in Bay City, Texas, The STP occupies a 12,200-acre site west of the Colorado River.
