Market Street Pause

This piece straddles the line between representation and abstraction through the use of pauses. The low-Resolution LED board is programmed with video footage of pedestrian and vehicle traffic on San Francisco’s Market Street. Pauses randomly interrupt the video, and all motion freezes for a brief time before resuming. Because the comprehension of the image relies on movement, the piece falls into abstraction when paused.
