Every Combination: Lights On, Lights Off, 2007, size varies, 1m35s, multi-channel video installation, looping video
Every Combination: Lights On, Lights Off, 2007, is a multi-channel video installation, where existing light fixtures become a controlled combination. Custom electronics were programmed and wired into the architecture of the studied space.
Through turning the lights on and off in every possible permutation the programmed code shows the space a new light. The video consists of five perspectives where shadows and bleeds of light allow the viewer to reconstruct or recreate the space. Marshall McLuhan states, "electric light is pure information. It is a medium without a message..." Thus allowing the logic structure of the code to be seen and to have an effect on the physicality of the space.
