Working as a collective for their contribution to inSITE94, Nina Katchadourian, Steven Matheson, and Mark Tribe created "Carpark/Estacionamiento" at Southwestern College in Chula Vista. The project involved the participation of students, faculty and staff of the college, all of whom were asked to park for one day in a designated area determined by the color of their vehicle, ranging from aqua to metallic raspberry. The project was carried out on August 31, 1994, and at the end of the commuter rush the parking lots of Southwestern College were completely color sorted. --inSITE94
