Art: Central Mosaic
2003 computer, projector, video camera, video capture card, retroreflective screen, custom software
Central Mosaic, part of the mosaic series, records the shadows of people as they walk in front of a projection screen and then replays them in silhouette. The recordings move out towards the edges and become smaller as new recordings take their place. The structure of the work is like a fractal, with detail being pushed out towards the leaves in a self-similar form. The work "ticks" like a clock, with older material first proceeding clockwise around the central large recording, and then filtering out to the edges in a strictly ordered logical progression.
