Light
defines and redefines boundaries as we flock to it like
moths. In the absence of other visual clues, points of light in a blank field are iconic, maplike: they re-orient and determine our sense of location,
with their own distinct structure and points of reference.
UNTITLED is a holographic recording of not an object or person, but an experiment
in capturing light in itself, reflected
internally many times, and refocused in space.
The piece is lit with red and green
lasers at a mere 5 mW each. Their
wavelength relates to our interpretation of color;
a laser contains purely monochromatic, single wavelength light. Although both lasers are the same intensity, the green
is dominant: the spectral response of the eye is
not equally distributed; our eyes respond to green more
than red. |
