Heat Index
Role: Creative Direction, Spatial Installation, Motion Design, Producer
Heat Index is an electronic music and performance event series in Brooklyn. Volume 1 was a celebration of the solstice, an opening ceremony for a new community space, and an opportunity to raise $1k+ for the Clue Justice Detained Immigrant Bond Fund. When the Heat Index is high, the atmosphere is fabric on our skin.
