Me and Abby Weg just applied for the visionary drawings show being curated by Matt Bua. We spent all night on this, but even still we're submitting a few days late.
this is the description I wrote for it:
The Institute is a morphing structure made out of live plants and trees that form a canopy structure
once fully grown. The creation process involves clearing a section of forest and then replanting
native species in exact formations so a fake forest grows in the real one. Once inside the institute,
the user completes a circuit that summons an animal spirit by completing a 10 minute workout on the
stair stepper to heaven. This activates the spirit totem which in absorbing kinetic energy from the
user, magically transforms them into a better version of themselves (and perhaps works off lunch).
The totem is comprised of various broken electronics salvaged from Carrie Dashows apartment that
she gave me because she didn’t feel like shlepping it to her new apartment. Thus, the Dashow Institute. Having burned off a few calories, the user is now in prime condition for self realization and a higher
state of conciousness.
I don't know if we'll get accepted or not, but if we do maybe we'll get to make it!!

beautiful image!
