Past workspace resident Michelle Handelman received a 2008 Experimental Television Center Finishing Fund grant for her project "Dorian", a multi-screen adaptation of Oscar Wilde's "The Picture of Dorian Gray". Inspired by the book's themes of youth, beauty, and the meaning of art, "Dorian" explores the decadence of celebrity culture and the excess of video imagery itself in an installation that combines video projection, live performance and music. The narrative plays out across multiple screens that simultaneously expand and contract time, and take Dorian on a journey from beautiful to grotesque through the layering of realtime video and animation.
