TanioN VtP: ethnographic insight

This visualization invokes a neglected playground swing-set structure as representative of a toxic present. The image reads as memorial to a past —once part of vibrant family neighborhood supported by its relationship to a burgeoning automotive industry —and as uncertain future confronted with imaging ways to rebuild, reinhabit place as stitched in or out of the corporate fabric. This visualization focuses on the consequences of tying place so closely to economic industry. I am struck at how the language is about consequences and choice, about the possibility of a vision of place distinct from livelihood.
