Byrd & Eastin / I Go Humble...

This interactive video installation by Stefani Byrd and Wes Eastin uses humor to address the serious subject of street harassment. Four projected heads—two women and two gay men—observe the passing crowd and catcall the men, thus reversing the typically male behavior.
In their current work, Byrd and Eastin focus on "empathy training," where audiences are put on the receiving end of playfully staged inappropriate behavior such as teasing and cat calling. The seriousness of the subject matter is masked by the humor that the situation is intended to create.
