glowing emissions

glowing emissions is derived from an apparatus that has an increasing presence in generating photographic information. The small, peripheral light of a computer is transformed into a dominant presence on screen. The persistent flashing of the LED, is amplified by the soundtrack and continual replay of the same hypnotic scene. glowing emissions is a luminous reminder of the technology that underpins our contemporary experiences. It is a meditation on the role of the apparatus; and the relationship between technology and visual information. It identifies a new apparatus to play against.

 

There are two kinds of light - the glow that illumes, and the glare that obscures. Thurber
