Ambedo Beta

Narrative

Commissioned by the Waller Creek Conservancy for the 6th annual Creek Show, Ambedo Beta is a set of portals that are an interactive, immersive art installation inspired by the Myth of the Waller Creek Monster. Two other-worldly phone booths stand at both ends of the tunnels, encouraging visitors to dial in and talk to the Creatures of the Creek who have created the bridge between their language and ours. The participants voice illuminates the lighting frames throughout the three tunnels in various patterns. The Portals remind Austin that although they may not always be apparent, the Creatures are always here.
