Sole Soaker is an interactive virtual environment that features a "pedestrian roller coaster" - a fictional roller coaster-like structure composed entirely of steps, conceived as a public art sculpture that is slow, meditative and tedious to move through.

Viewers can experience a first-person perspective of this enormous, fictional 'ride', using a game controller to climb and descend its stairways as the sea level gradually rises and falls around them.

Elements of this work are based loosely on a climate change study about projected sea level rise in the state of Florida. Originally presented alongside a vending cart displaying 3d printed goods one might encounter on a day trip.

Originally presented at Gallery Protocol in Gainesville, FL and further developed for Postmasters, New York in 2015.
