Installation view of Guilty Feet, curated project in collaboration with Colby Bird. Each artist was asked to give one work and two songs connoting connectivity, which were compiled as a soundtrack for the opening. The works were lit individually with dimmers. During the opening, when a song came on, the artist who chose the song had their work spotlit.
