“I'll Go Down Holding Your Hand” by Shasti O'Leary Soudant
 
A paired incarnation of O'Leary-Soudant's original AR sculpture work entitled ""The Grim Slide," conceived as a perilous piece of virtual playground equipment that functions as a metaphor for the cruel gravity of aging. In this interpretation, the twin slides offer a glimmer of comfort:
 

The ride may be rough, but I'm right beside you, and we'll be laughing all the way down.
 

Purchase of the work unlocks a UHD (ultra-high-definition) display copy of the animated file for use on flat-screen displays, and a 20"" X 20"" high-resolution rendered image for one giclée print, plus a BONUS augmented reality .usdz filter of the original ”Grim Slide” that can be viewed on iPhone and projected into your own environment.


Shasti O’Leary Soudant is a transdisciplinary artist, designer and writer who specializes in making the digital physical. Her boldly-colored, monumental sculpture installations center around public interaction and are often inspired by scientific and mathematical forms. Using a wide range of media and material to create immersive experiences, she aims to explore hidden systems that, when structured in algorithmic or random arrangements, result in unexpected and surprising outcomes.
 

Shasti’s work is in the collections of the Albright-Knox Art Gallery, the Burchfield Penney Art Center, Savarino Companies’ 500 Seneca project, The Albright-Knox Public Art Initiative in partnership with the NFTA, the Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center, the City of Jacksonville, Florida, and the City of Erie, Pennsylvania.
 

She has travelled extensively, exhibited internationally, and speaks fluent second grade French.
