Murphy's Law implicitly asked- Is it material now? Projections have the ability to literally and aesthetically materialize digital artifacts (and digital transmission of them and people) beyond the flat screen. This form of liveness acts as a demonstration- it is not merely a show to watch which has been rehearsed. With Murphy's Law Or: How I learned to interrupt the transition- I found that while the transmission is definitely interrupted technically, what is really in between people, interactions, and elements- are transitions- not transmissions. It is a concept that opposes fatalism and conservatism. Maybe it seems like everything is bound to collapse and 'go wrong,' especially with pandemics and personal empowerment, but I wanted to encourage seeing these moments as interruptions in transitioning.
