ANCHORS
Anchors is a GPS app that engages sight, sound, and smell through technology and the embodied experience of place. An app displays animated floating objects on visitors’ cell phones while on location at the BoxoPROJECTS. Participants discover four shapes floating in the landscape, bringing spirits, ghosts, specters of the past, into the present. Four “holding stations,” present small vessels that invite visitors to smell. Each has a pleasing scent to convey safety. When participants point their cell phones toward the coordinates, the floating objects come into view, each emitting a specific sound. Anchor develops from a series of drawings titled Out of Body about the artist’s anxiety about social upheaval. The work pays tribute to those who have suffered and persevered and connects with those currently struggling, turning the past into a foundation of strength for the future.
