ACTLab: Ashley Arechiga's Index: Death: Project 2
This project came together as a beautiful collaboration between Shayna Hill, Elijah Parker, Jason Torres, and I in dedication to ACTLab. We wanted to illustrate the phases of being exposed to the program utilizing live lights, music, performance, and animation.
Each of us contributed our specialized talents to a full portion of the project and worked together to make sure everything came together. Our dearest friends, Aura Cleveland, Sheryl Davis, and Andreas Leonardsen helped with the production as well as participated in the performance :)
<-----(the puppeteer you see above the footage of our performance was the hair animation projected above the stage)
The hair animation stemmed from a project Shayna and I worked on in Dream and Delirium of '09. This time, we wanted to revive it to illustrate the infamous puppeteer from one of the ACTLab logos. Using a spray bottle, clear shampoo, and endless bundles of my own hair, I sat in the bathtub for two days and brought her to life.
The final product received the same great disgusted reactions I appreciate :o)
