Velociplosion (A Muybridge Influenced Spatial Event) as part of Dlectricity 2012



This exercise intends to reverse engineer a mechanical phenomenon into a set of sculptural ‘frames’ across 100 feet of installation space. By constructing a series of identical objects in linear space, modifying each successive object slightly, and successively illuminating each object with a brief but powerful strobe, we may intimate Muybridge cell-motion with tangible, three dimensional objects. As subject matter a form has been selected that is both easily manipulated and commonplace to the urban vernacular- a street bicycle. This is animated stop motion mechanics in tangible space. Action as depicted in Manga. An over-sized flipbook. The continued re-analogization of digital white noise into spatial events by exploding.
