Peripheral Rhythm

This is an ongoing work-in-progress that juxtaposes a low resolution LED image panel with an object cast in glass. For this installation a single glass-cast chair is set in front of the low-Resolution moving image. Each element of the chair (the seat, the legs, etc.) has a light shining on it and through it. The intensity rhythm of the light on each element of the chair is mapped to an area of the low resolution image panel. As things happen in the moving image, corresponding rhythms occur on the chair. For example, if in the image a figure dressed in dark clothes walks across the screen, the viewers will simultaneously see a shadow move across the chair in their peripheral vision.
