I joined my roommates Daniel Goodwin, Olivia Nguyen, and Bruce Wilcoxon to create Ambedo ßeta, an interactive, immersive art installation inspired by the myth of the Waller Creek Monster. Two other-worldly phone booths stand at either end of the tunnels, encouraging visitors to dial in and talk to the Creatures of the Creek who have created the bridge between their language and ours. The participants voice illuminates the lighting frames throughout the three tunnels in various patterns. The portals remind Austin that although they may not always be apparent, the Creatures are always here.
The Waller Creek Show supports and educates the community on the importance and impact transforming Waller Creek will have on Austin's social, cultural, and ecological future.
