River and State was commissioned by the ICOA Chamber Orchestra, Daniel Feng, Conductor, as part of their New World/New Music series. The piece is in honor of the 125th anniversary of Antonin Dvorak's 9th Symphony, From the New World, and was premiered at the Bohemian National Hall in NYC. The accompanying composition is Dvorshock by Bruce Adolphe - also commissioned by the ICOA. The premiere of River and State featured a live performer, Laura King-Pazuchowski, on stage with the orchestra, interacting with the VR environment we developed. This video was captured from within the VR environment used during the performance. The music is a live recording of Dvorshock.
Our concept for this virtual cinema performance is about the promise of a new world, its unlimited potentials, personal freedoms and inevitable progress, and how technology has always played a role in these fantasies.
Our performer, Laura King-Pazuchowski traversed the membrane of our shared environment of lived experience and the fantasy of virtual, illimitable, dream-space.
The VR environment features renderings of Lower Manhattan, Inwood Hill Park, Ellis Island, and an amalgam of different Subway stations. The piece is also inspired by observing flash floods on certain Manhattan streets built above drained streams. whose resulting chaos suggest the transposed, consistent presence of foundational forces occluded by the trappings of contemporary material culture.
The Tulips are a reference to the Tulip tree of Inwood Hill Park where the initial meeting, and subsequent purchase of Manhattan from the Native population occurred. The tree died in the 1933. The sculpture of the Tulips encountered during the capsule scene is a rendering of a currently infamous Jeff Koons sculpture that has a connection to the Statue of Liberty.
The metronome seen at the beginning on the shore returns in the final scene as a monument sized rendering of Man Ray's "Indestructible Object". The character in front of the metronome in the final scene is a rendering of the performance artist.

Cut for Nicki in 2013, ref no 157. Nicki's description of her jigsaw:
"“On the Rocky Beach” by William Adolphe Bouguereau (Sur la Greve) 385 piece 2 layer puzzle part interlocking and part push fit within an interlocking border. Complete.
This is a brilliant piece of craftsmanship in a puzzle. With no guide picture, the title does not give any indication of the final finished subject matter. The plethora of muted colours do not
help either. The only real starting point is to separate out the thicker 6mm pieces from the thinner 4mm pieces each eventually assembling as two challenging puzzles. The overall size of the puzzle is 11” x 16” with the girls standing about 15 ½” high. The raised layer is interlocking. The background is push fit within an interlocking border. Neither puzzle is easy thanks to superb colour-line cutting of every colour break plus the odd tricks of fake corners in internal edge pieces as can be seen in the photographs.
The puzzle is the work of the talented Devon cutter Rob Garner who traded under the name of Amber Puzzles. Sadly Rob is now retired and with his retirement, the Puzzle World has lost one of its finest modern day cutters who had an unsurpassed skill for colour line cutting. His trademark “heart” and signed “R” are present."

The Birth of Venus is one of the most famous paintings by 19th-century painter William-Adolphe Bouguereau. It depicts not the actual birth of Venus from the sea, but her transportation in a shell as a fully mature woman from the sea to Paphos in Cyprus. She is considered the epitome of the Classical Greek and Roman ideal of the female form and beauty, on par with Venus de Milo. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Birth_of_Venus_(Bouguereau)
