America with webcam on the head


Laura Milkins said, 2,000 miles of my home in Tucson, Arizona in the House of my mother in Grand Rapids, Michigan. I plan to walk the distance together, inviting people to walk with me and share a history that I make my way across the country. Every night, I remain of the someone dinner home and cook and breakfast for them, in exchange for their hospitality.

The project was broadcast live 24 hours a day on Walking.HOME where you can watch it live or check the edited version in the form of a weekly television show, online. The basic set up is a webcam attached to a laptop computer, plugged into an external battery stored in my backpack to solar energy. The webcam was attached to my head at the level of the eyes, so if I look at the person walking next to me, you will look at this person.

My work is subject of connections and the community. I believe that safety comes from confidence, community and collaboration. I hope that using networks social, online and traditional, to cross the country safely. In this project, I am offering to listen with an open heart. Everyone has a story to tell. History of the world is important! Walking home stories
