The Paleontology of Chris Wildrick Is Overrated: Walk the Walk, interactive installation, 2006 and 2009
In this second look at how people think dinosaurs might have walked (see Dinosaur
Tracks and Translations, with Andrea Buckvold, for the first version),
Chris recreated trackways for three dinosaur ichnospecies: Anchisauripus (probably
a medium-sized theropod, such as a dilophosaurus, and represented by red footprints),
Amblydactylus (a large ornithopod, such as a hadrosaur, represented by blue
footprints), and Ceratopsipes (made by a ceratopsian such as a Centrosaurus,
and represented by green quadropedal footprints). People were asked to choose
a species and walk the way they thought that dinosaur would have walked.
It has been performed twice: once at White Flag Projects in St. Louis, MO, and once at a preschool in Syracuse, NY.
