Project Description

Slides is an artwork that tells the story of four laboratories housed in the Iowa Laboratory Facility and brings them together in different relationships.

It reflects the interaction and overlapping knowledge base that exists between science and technology disciplines, unifying them further through images of the Iowa landscape and environment.
