We love it when we’re asked to work with the same people again. It opens up the door to a richer, more engaging collaboration when there’s a high degree of trust on both sides. Working with the Annenberg Center’s Institute for Multimedia Literacy lets us indulge our urge for reciprocity as well as develop online experiences about issues we care about.
“The Guantanamobile Project” documents the journeys of three scholars who traveled around the US in the summer of 2004, collecting public responses to the federal prison at Guantanamo Bay. We wanted the design of this piece to play into the conflicting attitudes about and purposes of the camp, and to reflect the numerous voices that America is speaking with about the place. These voices are amplified here, but they are still contradictory, and the resulting jumble serves as a container for our conflicted feelings about the larger issues of security, torture and terrorism.
