Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Measurable Outcome(s)

My new media work br1Nk: st1tch was part of the Duluth Art Institute's Arrowhead Biennial Exhibition that ran from November 10, 2016 through February 9, 2017. This juried show draws artists from Minnesota, Wisconsin, North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, Michigan and Ontario. I used the funds from ARAC to purchase two chromebase all-in-one computers and two wall mount kits to exhibit my multi-threaded, browser-based work. br1Nk: st1tch was awarded the 3rd place Juror's prize. The new equipment allowed me to explore a new installation method for future work.
