PATTERN LANGUAGE (installation documentation)

Pattern Language is a term coined by architect Christopher Alexander describing the aliveness of certain human ambitions through an index of structural patterns. Some advocates of this design approach claim that ordinary people can use it to successfully solve very large, complex design problems. In this installation, the vocabulary of Alexander’s system is employed towards the construction of an endlessly mutating death labyrinth, projected inside an immersive 4-channel video environment. This video documents the inaugural installation at 3 Legged Dog Art & Technology Center in New York City on September 29, 2016.
