MAKING SPACE
Making Space was a 2 month residency at the Galway Arts Centre that paired 4 artists with astronomers from the Centre of Astronomy, National University of Ireland Galway. Funded through the Royal Astronomical Society, the residency culminated in a 6 week exhibition as part of the Galway International Arts Festival and the RAS's 2020 Bicentennial Celebration.
PROJECTION MAPPING ON O'BRIEN'S CASTLE
O'Brien's castle is a 600 year old castle on Inis Oírr, the smallest of the Aran Islands in Co. Galway, Ireland. Inis Oírr is a three square mile island with a population of 260 glorious people. For Winter Solstice 2017 I worked with the local secondary school, the students drew mandalas inspired by the sun. I animated the drawings, along with a lot of my own material, and projected onto the castle after sunset. It's one hell of a community project with help coming from all sides of the island. Inis Oírr forever! Thank you Aras Éanna for the continued support!
MIRROR TRACE AND TREMBLE
Mirror, Trace, and Tremble is a collaborative project between Jane Cassidy, Tim Feeney and Holland Hopson. Their immersive environment was inspired by and honors the glorious close of the Mississippi River that begins in New Orleans. The visuals record fog, boat traffic, and the near-stillness contained by the vacuum of darkness along the night banks of the river. Its stark pinpoints of light find echoes in sounds that activate the metal railings within the projection. Participants view its lights from afar, and are drawn in by its quiet murmuring, walking within the work to touch and feel its vibrations.

BABIES IN SPACE
May - August 2016
DASHBOARD PRESENTS
Babies in Space was an immersive environment commissioned by the Alliance Theatre's Theatre For The Very Young in Atlanta. The installation, built specifically for babies 0 - 2 years old, was open to the public for free, daily for three months. The visual component of Babies in Space consisted of digital and sculptural works by artists Jane Cassidy and Kelly O’Brien. Each piece was touchable, squeeze-able and toss-able for visitors. The performance element, created and performed by Atlanta's Fly on a Wall, responded to the visual work and became fully interactive to engage the young audience.
