Stardusted is a video that features a performance at the Stardust Casino on October 31, the day before its closure in 2006 and a video of the casinos implosion on March 13, 2007. The implosion of a Casino may not seem that big of a deal in a town where reinvention is not only a mantra but a self preservation skill. The effect of implosions is also a warping of memory a catastrophe wrapped in a spectacle. In a region where non-native history is a relative blink of an eye it is rare that nostalgia, sincere and heartfelt, gushes out like an artesian well. This is precisely what happened with the closing of the Stardust. The implosion was intended to make space for a new and more modern resort property. The Stardust was a placeholder of memories of a more “classic” era, an era packed with human stories, a concentration of nostalgia. Like many structures in history while we preserve the symbolic, sometimes we are only left with the memory. The implosion was staged as an elaborate and unsolicited lesson in modern global economic decision making, a show of force, and a spectacle. The work was screened widely and was included in an exhibit at the Cantocore Gallery in Guanzou, China.

Part of the Hellen Keller Project an exhibition that I was invited to at Alfred University in New York, I created a three-dimensional soundscape of my living room and scanned the room with a 3D digital scanner. The possibilities of spacial reconnaissance while recording sound is often overlooked, the sound recording and the video accompanying it are recordings in sound of my pacing every square foot of the living room, each step has a unique effect on the creaking wood, creating spatial coordinates. The bending and the warping of the wood floor cause a guitar cantilevered over a table to cause the guitar sound. The video is a three dimensional scan of the room as it floats in space. The incomplete scan is analogous to the incomplete understanding we often have of space and time.

David Sanchez Burr Video 22 min. 52 sec. 2007 Author Barbara Ehenreich suggested in her book Fear of Falling that Problemlessness in our culture is one of the leading problems in our culture, the disassociation between people who can take advantage of the economic system's wealth and inequality and the people who are forced to maintain it. The passing of time and the inability to consciously arrive at a conclusion in the wake of constant change. This piece allows the viewer to contend with their time and it’s importance.
