Contact Point

Contact Point is a site-specific, geo-located, alternate reality sound-and-sugar piece, hovering at a place that was visible from Kapplow’s bedroom window as a child, and where a violent and surreal event involving a raft of ducks was once witnessed. The event occurred during a time period when Kapplow was extremely concerned about the possibility of being a “Star Person” (an alien-human hybrid species posited by New Age authors Brad and Francie Steiger).

Contact Point’s audio features the voices of several autonomous solar-powered "sounder" devices collectively produced in a workshop led by Daniel Fishkin in Aarhus, DK in August 2021. 

Alpha60 is a program of science-fiction inspired AR work scattered along the Emerald Necklace in Boston, MA curated by Michael Lewy, in collaboration with Hoverlay and Boston Cyberarts Gallery.

Alpha60 will launched in October 2021 and run through the end of 2021.
