Kite Scores was a monthly publication series to accompany Accidental Flight, a multi-modal public sculpture, performance, and publication series that explores the aesthetic, conceptual, corporeal/somatic and transcendent aspects of flight, invention, technology and collaboration. Commissioned for the Emerging Artist Fellowship at Socrates Sculpture Park, the piece pairs a monumental public sculpture based on the triangular-trussed kites built by Alexander Graham Bell with a monthly publication of kite patterns (“scores”) for visitors to Socrates Park to take away or download from the park’s website, assemble in public workshops, and fly.
Kite Scores functioned as research footnotes, containing both historic texts and commissioned pieces by a number of contributors on topics ranging from solar power, climate change, collaboration, the kite as an internationalist/utopian “flag to no nation,” and flight as an escape path.
