Dipped into some new concepts recently to contribute to “Light That”, an art show promoting ASL use and challenging us to communicate without speaking. My thinking with these pieces was to display a process true to my visual stylings but without the use of any video effects or mixers (to make the elements at work more clear)
First concept is a moiré tube + camera feedback loop on a spinning plate. The optical effect is created by the pattern spacings on the front and back of the tube as the continuously spin. The camera feedback loop amplifies this effect by capturing both the tube and it’s projection shadow. This is further modulated by the oscillating plate rotation and a bit of camera tilt.
The second idea is one I’ve experimented with before, I have moiré patterns playing on a CRT warped by a piece of glass, and the resulting image is captured by camera and displayed on a separate screen. For this particular show I made the operation of the plate manual and invited people to choose which glass to use and turn the plate by hand to watch their movements directly affect the results.
These are my first forays into “kinetic sculpture” adjacent work but I have a few ideas in the queue, so hopefully more soon. ✌️
Good Neighbor Block Party was poppin!!!
Here’s some looks from inside @on.maritime records where I was projection mapping the DJ booth and @claire.june.apana ‘s beautiful origami pieces. Probably the sickest record dig I’ve personslly experienced and it was dope to hang with all the homies and creatives. Powered by @pabstblueribbon & @tyland_la
