V.I.B.E. is an artist-led project that explores the impact of media in the built environment through curated site-specific interventions, presentations and published documentation. Browning’s video piece, “Homeland Insecurity”, will show in the windows of 600 S. Michigan, as will Barbier’s “Homeland Security Advice”. Both these pieces are responses to the current threatening climate we all live in.
