The Hatfield’s Not For Sale was a site-specific work as part of the DownStreet Art Festival, North Adams, MA. It was produced by Greylock Arts.
Not For Sale was an interactive storefront window installation by Ephraim & Sadie Hatfield that explored desire, consumption, and interaction mediated by the storefront glass. Objects one might find in a typical storefront window were combined with unexpected elements, as well as microcontrollers and motors.
Individuals standing before the window were encouraged to interact with the installation via their mobile phone, activating motorized elements, displays, lights, and sounds.
Not For Sale was on display at the MCLA Gallery 51 Annex, on view 7 days a week / 24 hours a day from July 29th – October 31, 2010.
