Channel TWo (CH2) is a studio/research construct focused on mixed reality, media, design, development, and distribution, authorized formats + unauthorized ideas, systems of control + radical togetherness. Channel TWo is loosely aligned with the concept of over-identification, Slavoj Žižek’s description of a tactic intended to reveal the hidden nature of dominant ideologies -- not by pointing to them but by becoming extreme forms of them. CH2 Projects intersect joyful/play-oriented aesthetic experiences and user interfaces with challenging social undercurrents. CH2's most recent projects involve interactive landscapes/game environments, and computer viruses. “FIND EACH OTHER. Begin There.” is a dual-channel networked landscape, designed as a cornfield with large sweeping, swooshing industrial windmills, suggesting a sustainable future while presenting unknowns, influenced by our home here in the Midwest, named after a chapter in The Coming Insurrection, and developed for the “Born Digital” exhibition at The Contemporary Art Museum (CAM), in Raleigh, NC.
