REMEMBERING PAUL CATANESE's 2019 Summer Residency and newly commisioned project:
ESSENTIAL QUESTION: How much fog is enough?
Long before arriving to SPACES, Paul knew there would be fog. And, we knew it too. But, that's what makes SPACES great! Have a big idea? We want to be the organization that says, "yes!"
Ok, but what happens when SPACES wants to say yes and the fire marshall says no?
That's right. We almost had our dreams squashed when (after many phone calls and planning meetings) we finally had our fog-fire walk through. The answer was no. SPACES would not be approved to shut off the detection thingies that keep everyone safe in times of emergency. Don't get us wrong. It was a fun walk-through, complete with more information than one human could ever need on things like, say, how much fire could cause those alarms (actuators?) to melt and other tidbids to tuck you in at night.
Ok, fine. We needed to regroup.
Maybe - there was fog that wouldn't set off alarms? That's right folks, there is a quick dissipating fog. The machine spits it out into the air and within a few minutes the stuff has mostly disappeared through the cracks of the building like a tax return come bill time.
Sure engough, that's what we used. And, Paul timed the length and frequency of the bursts to the perfect goldilocks setting whereby the parabala of enjoyment and allowment converged.
