3000 YELLOW RECTANGLES ON A PARKING GARAGE
Spenic® Inkjet coated Dupont Tyvek®, wheatpaste

Window Reflection
During the summer of 2024, two facades of a downtown parking were activated using wheatpaste and 3,000 pieces of inkjet-coated Dupont Tyvek®. The construction material is commonly used to weatherize buildings, yet brick-sized and coated in yellow inkjet, echo road markings to reference the project’s partnership with the Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT).
The work took on an unexpected second life when captured by Google Maps. This digital afterlife continues to extend the project’s reach beyond its brief physical presence, preserving it within the city’s visual record.
