Rain Bow: View With Blinds Open
title Rain Bow: View With Blinds Opendescription San Diego Natural History Museum San Diego-based artist Roman de Salvo created four distinct installations for inSITE94 at the San Diego Natural History Museum. Titled "Rain Bow/Arco de lluvia," "Santa Ana," "Exits/Salidas," and "Mouse Hole/Ratonera," respectively, the pieces were located in areas of the museum not normally used for exhibition. Drawing attention to the marginal with a certain measure of wit, de Salvo's minimal yet rich interjections invited visitors to contemplate freely, without detailed exposition from the artist. With "Rain Bow" engaging the drinking fountain pulls a cord which opens the shutter blinds, revealing an image of a rainbow over the park directly outside the museum.

Techno-Balero: Detail View Of Market
title Techno-Balero: Detail View Of Marketdescription Pasaje Gómez Market, Tijuana (Baja California, Mexico) San Diego-based artist Roman de Salvo created a project for inSITE2000 that followed his line of tongue-in-cheek works while at the same time cleverly pointing at issues of relevance and depth in contemporary culture and society. Using the balero, an iconic, inexpensive Mexican toy most often bought by tourists visiting Tijuana, de Salvo created the simulation of a high-tech video arcade game. With elements high and low coming together, de Salvo installed three "Techno-balero" stations in a typical downtown Tijuana market where one could play the baleros by manipulating a joystick that moved a mock "video" screen or, in actuality, a low-tech blinky image, showing the balero being played. As participants would successfully win each time the game was played, chimes connected to the joystick would ring in the background. --inSITE2000 Sculpture and Installations Special Collections & Archives, UC San Diego, La Jolla, 92093-0175 (https://lib.ucsd.edu/sca) This image is a scan of a 35mm color slide from the InSite Archive (MSS 707, Box 309, Folder 03, Item 090) [Title, Date].
