An
experimental stage for characters, props and improvisational
play in Coshocton, Ohio, which is broadcast live to web viewers
worldwide. The featured stars of the broadcast are the live
park visitors entering the grassy stage area. Also in the
staging area are movable statue-like props. These life-sized,
weatherproof, photographic cutouts are the characters, heros
and luminaries from Coshocton Ohio's past and present. Decisions
about who should be honored as a “statue” were
made by students from the Coshocton Opportunity High School
after a process of community interviews, research and discussion.
The statues present the park visitor with an array of props
to arrange as they see fit and they also present the webcam
viewers with a changing scene of Coshocton, which includes
live actors among the photographically represented.
This public art project concept by Amy
Youngswas created in collaboration with the Coshocton
Opportunity High School students and Anne Cornell, creative director
at thePomerene
Center for the Arts.
The
live webcam is currently down, due it's getting an upgrade
to solar power. I'll post the link with it comes back this
summer. |
