Being invited to participate in art exhibitions are always good things. That means someone remembered the work that I created. A few years ago, I produced three online mapping projects that involved mounting a camera on my car and capturing images on various road trips. The series is called: Drive Project. Stephanie Schuster, of the Schweinfurth Memorial Art Center, invited me to display some of the artifacts in an exhibition called Highways & Byways: American Road Culture on display August 31 - October 18, 2008

This exhibit includes 74 works of contemporary art by 18 artists from around the country. The work is inspired by, related to, or depicts American highways & byways and includes an array of media from graphic paintings to retro photographs.

My submission to the show was 6 framed photographs and one video installation. The photos are true sequences from the first drive project in 2005. The video was a timelapse from Rochester, NY to St. Louis to Rochester, NY. The video runs 1:07. I was able to present it using an idea that I sketched up a while ago. It is a pedestal that holds a car headrest that has a monitor mounted inside of it.

It kinda forces the kids to see the landscape.
