• Santa Fe Innovation Park helps “We The People:  A social sculpture project”

November 06, 2011: 

David Breecker, Quantum Media affiliate, is the President and chief consultant of The Santa Fe Innovation Park. Among its current projects, the company is helping artist Sydney Cooper crowd fund  her "social sculpture" effort that approaches self portraiture in a highly unusual way. 

Cooper writes, "Our interactive, multi-platform  project engages participants in the creation of dynamic, layered self-portraits. This creative process allows a single person or a whole community to draw maps representing experience, interests, values, and more. Portraits are personal and intuitive, recording each participant’s taste, memory, peeves, hopes and stories in a rich visual matrix of interconnection." See a video of Breecker interviewing Cooper about her thinking and of some contributors making art.
