Ark 3: The Workshop Scenarios<\/em> sees Burns and Martin working collaboratively with improvisational cosplay, creating speculative video installations that re-imagine educational practice and explore post-human fictions. Leading up to the opening, Burns and Martin collaborated with students enrolled in the School of Art and Design to shoot video in what would become one of the works in their show. Other works from their recent residency at Signal Culture<\/a> in Owego, NY, and other previous work. Using unique methods for projecting videos, Burns and Martin’s presentation utilizes the very plastic balls used in their recent videos to add a sculptural element to their presentation. Additionally, on October 28th, Burns and Martin presented a screening of their collaborative video work in Holmes Auditorium spanning their time working together.<\/p>\n
