Christina McPhee

Christina McPhee's artist studio at Turbulence contains only one work, "La Conchita mon amour," though McPhee has other works within Turbulence. "La Conchita mon amour is a multimedia site study of the aftermath of debris flow in La Conchita, a beach town in southern California on January 10, 2005. For eighteen months McPhee visited La Conchita at one month intervals, shooting and drawing within the shattered spaces and vernacular shrine building. La Conchita's setting of powerful natural cycles, from the tides to the recurrence of debris flow in winter, found an algorithmic analog through editing with seventies-era sequencers at the Experimental Television Center, New York, in winter 2005; later McPhee remixed this content in nonlinear digital editing. In summer 2006 she shot HD video; some of this content is downsampled for the net. Kyong Mee Choi shared her electronic voice composition, 'TAO' (2005), for the video installation and the net." -- From Turbulence
