“Broken Window, the second installation at Jim Campbell’s showing in Madison Square Park, is situated near the main entrance to Madison Square Park at 23rd Street and Fifth Avenue. An array of LEDs encased in a glass-brick wall create illuminated images that appear to glide across the glass plane, reflecting the movements of the city around them and echoing the aesthetic poetry of the Scattered Light installation. The video imagery is of pedestrians walking directly behind the piece. The moving footage was prerecorded on a bright afternoon but is visible in the artwork during the darkened evenings.”
