An installation piece created as part of "Sensor Art" studies conducted by Professor Stephen Wilson at San Francisco State's Inter-Arts Center Graduate Program. Designed as a point of entry for social affairs, this passage way instantaneously and automatronically creates the air of glamour, hype, and spectacle. Consisting of a motion detector routed through a small computer chip with software triggering forty randomly timed high powered flash bulbs, popping away in rapid succession. Typically, the sensor was mounted near ground level at the threshold to a venue, and the bulbs were hung from the ceiling in the following passage way.

Produced in 2000, the piece was a predecessor to the age of Nouveau Celebrity and the epidemic of self perpetuating fame. When experienced originally the Corridor provoked a pure sense of marvel, amplified by giddiness and esteem. This seems a far cry from the tawdry associations that paparazzi flashbulbs currently provoke. (How far eight years have taken us). From 2000 to 2004 the Paparazzi Corridor was installed for a series of art openings and fund raising events. It will continue to rest in the storage facilities of Nonchalance until the notion of celebrity has recovered from it's current ailments.
