The Rain Room at MoMA…
For those of you in NY:
While I wouldn’t recommend waiting more than 20 minutes to see it, it was a rather unique and fun experience.
The light is so bright! The effect is somewhere between disorienting and exhilarating as the rain falls around, but not on you.
Definitely walk towards the light.
i wonder if i’ll get a callback…

rainbow dissonance study I
animated gif from three performances for scanner
2012
this time playing a little more with dissonance than resonance. in one “pass” of the thread clump i swiveled the low end of the color spectrum away from the scanner head to create an absence in the wave. in another pass, further in the field, i swiveled the other end away. the third pass was an attempt at a constant to bridge the two. (related and related)
UPDATE: this work is on reserve

rainbow resonance study (three variables)
animated gif from three performances for scanner
2012
i moved five clumps of multi colored thread across my scanner with the intention of keeping the rate of movement along the x-axis identical to the rate of movement of the scanner head, while moving up and down the y-axis at variable speeds while the scanner was recording. the resulting three stills were then animated.
note: while i realize the idea of a (process-oriented) “performance scan” might seem a little silly/eye-rolly, that’s exactly how i’ve been thinking of them—as performances that are recorded by a scanner. i think they’re related to a lot of the sound research i’ve been doing lately. as usual, no idea really what this is, or where it’s going yet. :)
UPDATE: This GIF was acquired by Museum Nerd. Thanks MNerd!

Going off the grid for about a week so here’s a teaser.
See you on the other sides.
