Knee Deep and Risin'
The Grossman Gallery, in the Williams Visual Arts Building, is one block from the Delaware River and sits directly over the Bushkill Creek. Both bodies of water have overflowed their banks in recent years. Knee Deep and Risin', created by Jim Toia and Noah Vawter, is a multimedia installation of video and audio feeds from both waterways. Infrared sensors, triggered by visitors' moving the exhibition screens, activate live and recorded video and audio, simulating flood events from fresh perspectives. Knee Deep and Risin' is an interdisciplinary project by Lafayette College's Department of Computer Science, Department of Art, Grossman Gallery, Community Based Teaching Program, and the Lehigh Valley Performing Arts High School.
