PHILADELPHIA, PA.- Currently on view at the Schuylkill Center for Environmental Education, 8480 Hagy’s Mill Road, Philadelphia, PA through October 30th is GreenMachine, an outdoor, interactive, multi-media exhibition that embeds technology with environmental art installations. Curated by John Murphy of InLiquid, GreenMachine includes a documentary on the making of the exhibition by Vincent Romaniello, http://www.inliquid.com/features/greenmachine/documentary.html with work by Keiko Miyamori, Katie Murken and Chris Vecchio.

A Debtor’s Inheritance by Katie Murken utilizes dried gourds as cairns at selected locations throughout the woods as staging areas for an evolving written narrative and a mobile network, created in collaboration with P’unk Avenue, that will allow visitors to interact and be guided through the trails via cell phone text messages.

Supplemental Shrubbery Sound Source by Chris Vecchio raises questions about what constitutes "natural" and "man-made." Vecchio has arranged a series of audio sound samples – some subtle, some dramatic -- activated by hidden motion sensors as people walk past.

Keiko Miyamori emphasizes her cultural and spiritual background as a Japanese artist in her project, Imagine here and there. A transnational tree rubbing exchange creates the backdrop and foundation for the improvisational, simultaneous performance by two Japanese percussionists, Chikara Miura (in Japan) and Toshi Makihara (at The Schuylkill Center) captured on digital media and live-broadcast to each other and to the internet.
