description

Weight of Water constitutes a series of artworks made over the course of two years by TangenT in partnership with community organizations, activists, and representatives from the EPA and CDC. No. One in the series is a digital artwork comprised of archival footage, digital object renderings, portraits, interviews, site photographs and Google Earth Street View video. It is a collaged meditation on impact, suffering, responsibility and governance inspired by well poisonings in the Philadelphia metropolitan region. It premiered at the Philadelphia Fringe Fest as part of their Digital Fringe Programming.
