Installation: Now & Again

Misinformation & Health Literacy

Audience: UC Davis Campus

Location: Cruess Hall Open Lab and Lobby

Role: Producer, Preparator, Information Designer

Skills: Graphics, Fabrication, Interaction

Timeline: 8 weeks

Purpose: This exhibition featured 13 large-scale installations that presented data-driven designs related to connectivity and our planet. I constructed a 6-ft sculpture and an analog interactive.

How do I organize 13 installations?

Spatial Design

I created the layout of the installations by sub-themes with consideration for preferred lighting, power access, and space for interaction.

How do I make data interesting?

Research

Misinformation Ogre (Miso)'s scale emphasizes the 54% of Americans who read below a 6th grade level and media feeding misinformation.

Levels

The levels had different forms of interaction and were fabricated from chip board using a lazer cutter.

1. QR code leads to the comic

2. Sliders allow viewers to test their comprehension

3. Catalog cards flip up to reveal more applications for literacy

How can I offer solutions?

Comics

The literacy portion of the installation is data heavy. The interpretation follows a wizard breaking down the data and applying it to life.

Zines

The zine allows the viewer to take actions to navigate misinformation in media and connects the two parts of the installation.

Can I build it?

Large Scale

Miso is 6ft tall in an active stance to attack the literacy shelf. I created an internal armature to hold up the chickenwire frame then added a cinder block to the back foot to balance the weight distribution.
