VESSELS is a game of chance that produces a population in the image of its audience. Familiar faces inhabit unfamiliar bodies, each carrying a machine-assembled life. As these figures accumulate, individual portraits become the substance of a collective body. The crowd watches itself take shape in an expanding pile, a world made from everyone who has passed through it.
VESSELS is one of the interconnected installations that make up ARIA ENGINE.
