In May 1970 at Kent State University, four students were killed and nine were wounded during a non-violent protest against the Vietnam War. Mapping May 4 is a web application that draws from the oral histories in the May 4 Collection, Kent State Special Collections & Archives. It maps stories from those histories that describe memories of events at a particular place in Kent between May 1st and May 5th, 1970. It is designed to serve as a digital memorial, to remember and honor these events. Created with the Each+Every team.

Place Into Words was originally produced as a part of Kent State University's School of Visual Communication Design MFA Exhibition titled "Surveys: A Design Exhibition Immersed In The Journey Between Earth and Mars." The installations were inspired by NASA's Orion program in hopes to inspire, provoke, and stir a sense of curiosity and wonder surrounding space travel.

The archival collage juxtaposes images of earth and mars over multiple millennial perspectives of the most beautiful place on earth.

Music mixed and produced by Alan Walker.
Video produced by Alex Catanese.
Projections, audio recordings, and concept in collaboration with Jordan Kauffman.
