kinetic multimedia w/ digital projection

2009

This kinetic sculpture is an allegory for an attempted communication. The video projection employs a system of encryption based on Morse Code to transmit a written message.

Using short and long impulses, the projection sends the message upward. It is incrementally thwarted by the convex mirror that travels through the plane of the projection. Moving images occupy the space between the words.

The ordered system of image/light impulses refashions the mathematically managed image presentation systems of cinema and video.
