THE EGG, THE PARROT, AND SCHWARZSCHILD’S RADIUS

MFA Thesis Exhibition, Ohio University, Interactive Installation, 2013

The Egg, The Parrot, and Schwarzschild’s Radius is an interactive installation consisting of four enclosed, fabric-lined rooms where viewers activate projected animations using a handheld object. Each intimate space mirrors the scenes unfolding on the walls, placing the viewer physically inside the narrative environment.


Across four connected episodes, recurring characters transform between human, animal, and prehistoric forms as the stories shift from fable to philosophical speculation to cosmic imagery. Blending myth, dream logic, humor, and absurdity, the work explores memory, transformation, and the unstable ways we search for meaning.

Animation Episodes

Nuts and Eggs

Fable-like narrative about mortality, exchange, and transformation around a nocturnal campfire.

Dessert and Sea

A wandering dialogue on memory and displacement set within a shifting prehistoric landscape.

Light and Smoke

Cosmic parable blending scientific curiosity, accident, and the edge of the unknowable.

Dinosaur Island

Bright, surreal epilogue where prehistoric figures drift through a playful, unstable paradise.

The Interaction

After entering a room, visitors placed the dinosaur activation object on the center of the pedestal, triggering the animation within that space.

Each room contained a primary animation activated by the dinosaur trigger. Select figures were embedded with alternate NFC tags that played hidden “Easter egg” sequences, rewarding exploration and repeated engagement.
