COLLABORATION PROCESS
PHIL MANERI and CHRISTOPHER APPEL created a music and poetry recording and invited C.G. RYAN to create a visual story for the piece. Using footage from her 360 VR Thesis project, and newly created elements, C.G. created a non-linear narrative.
The piece evolved over time, and the collaboration TAKE CARE #3 was accepted into the IMAGE Ohio annual exhibit as an installation. This collaboration work received the honor of BEST NEW MEDIA from the IMAGE Ohio jury for the exhibit.

“What started out as a quick session recording was transformed into a digital work that transports the viewer to a different mind-space. C.G.'s creativity and vision amaze us, as we continue to work with her on new collaboration concepts.” — CHRISTOPHER APPEL, poet
