TRIUMPH OF LABOR

  2018, gif animation for bicycle wheel light, DC motor, motion sensor, pipe


Outdoor installation in my exhibition of new digital and kinetic works, entitled India Material at The Shed Space, Brooklyn, NY, April 28th - May 10, 2018.  India Material is an artistic contemplation of the spiritual concept of reincarnation, the endless cycle of birth, death, and rebirth. Fruits of an artist residency in India, the works integrate video with early forms of animation and historic devices, precursors to modern time-based media. The loop in particular acts as a vehicle to virtually sculpt from everyday life essential, alas transient moments while keeping everything in flux – replay ad infinitum.
