Translating Transitions
Versatubes were the original video screens used for Rock n’ Roll concerts. As they fell out of favor I was able to borrow the fixtures and integrate them into art projects. For this project I assigned them the role “most complex light projection source” conflating a “candle” the most primitive light source. A video camera was focused on the candle that transferred the flickering image through the controller into the Versatubes. Cables do attach top with bottom tubes but more importantly they define the space and aid in forming a kinetic sculpture .
