Picture Projects

Picture Projects Picture Projects specializes in bringing to life all the facets of an issue on-line and in exhibition and public spaces.

Brooklyn based Picture Projects produces exhbitions and new media work - online documentaries and interactive installations - that primarily focus on telling complex stories from multiple perspectives. Picture Projects is a Brooklyn based studio that collaborates with other artists, photographers, journalists, film makers, technologists and academics to tackle major contemporary and historical soc

ial concerns. Picture Projects’s work goes back to 1995, and with our team, the studio has over 70 years of experience developing our own projects and helping non-profit organizations develop and realize their visions. What differentiates Picture Projects from web design and development companies is our approach as artists, and our focus on presenting multiple perspectives and engaging with the complexities and contradictions arising from very different experiences and points of view. Websites, mobile phones and interactive installations have become keynote narrative and dialoguing platforms with the possibility to engage and enable visitors with opportunities to engage and respond to what they know. In our current projects, we continue to weave new technologies with smart design into an ongoing exploration of our history and social fabric through first-person stories, dynamic data and participatory storytelling.

Heather Greer and I could not think of a more perfect festival to premiere “The Halfway Between All This” than the Calgary International Film Festival | CIFF.

This short documentary is a conversation and a meditation on the role of images and trauma and the impossibility to truly process an event as horrific as the 1994 Rwandan genocide and its aftermath.

We are grateful to Gilles Peress for his participation and powerful insights that made this film possible.

Screenings 9/23 and 9/27.

Check out: “To Protect and Server" by Jonah Brucker-Cohen and Mark Ramos. "A reconfiguration of Google’s popular “ReCaptcha” software that helps protect websites from spam and abuse. “To Protect and Server” utilizes machine learning and the ReCaptcha system but re-appropriates a randomized selection of 30 perceived images of “Police Brutality” in an attempt to train the population on what is deemed “unacceptable uses of force” by police who are paid to protect the public."

From Worth Rises via the Prison Policy Initiative https://data.worthrises.org. "The prison industry is worth over $80 billion and includes thousands of corporations. This is a database of corporations that do business with corrections and immigration detention in the U.S."

The prison industry is comprised of over 4,000 corporations that profit off of incarceration. These corporations have a vested financial interest in expanding the reach of our carceral system and worsening the incredible harm it causes at the expense of public safety. It’s time we learn their name...
