Columns, Gallery Walcheturm, Zurich, (flat, expanded), 1991, 124 x 50 x 24", rubber, wood, latex, blowers and timing mechanism.
The tall, narrow surfaces forming the gap between the two columns simultaneously "breathe." As the two walls exhale and swell, the space between them closes; as they inhale and flatten, the gap
reopens.

Taxi, Chicago, 2003  (with Haha)
Taxi is a car with a digital advertising sign on the roof. In response to an open invitation, residents supply messages and designate sites for the messages to be screened. Linked with a geographically aware system, messages change relative to the car's location.
