Processing Embedded Light Installation / Optical I

Hello,

I am hoping to post this piece to the processing exhibitions site, before the opening on April 30th:

or go straight to the video:

Here is some info on the work:

Horizon in the Fold (2010) is a piece that demonstrates the potentiality of a path toward meta-materials.  It is an attempt to create material not found in nature, yet inspired by it, through viewer synthesis. By projecting thin columns of saturated light onto the structural folds of a domestic white curtain a liminal environment is created. Fans slowly breeze the curtain side to side and these columns of light correspondingly move in and out of sync with the swaying vertical folds of the curtain. Fusing the virtual field of light onto the curtain’s surface presents a horizon of sea and sunset hues flipped on their side and set upon a planar viewing ground. Perception becomes the very modality to experience this synthetic composition through tuning the form and function of the piece to the optic system.  This work can further be approached as an instrument of visual music, drawing upon a rich history of moving image and projected light movements of the last century.

I am going to try and get documentation at the actual gallery before the 30th and update from there, environmental sound not in current documentation.

Feedback is great!

Thanks,
Gary Pennock
