Light Leaks
Collaboration with Kyle McDonald - toA scattered array of fifty mirror balls reflect light from three projectors, filling a room with small reflections, and casting patterns that fill the visitor’s peripheral vision. This creates a curious space that alternates between a meditative state, and an uneasy imbalance. It’s an experiment in combining a found object with computer vision to create a profound and unusual experience. This installation was created in collaboration with Kyle McDonald originally for Click Festival 2013
