shown 17th – 22nd of July 2014, at GOLD+BETON, Cologne
This exhibition explores the complexities of human perception, particularly how it contrasts with the way a camera captures light and color. It guides visitors from the spontaneous bursts of color in the front gallery to a meticulously choreographed light experience in the back, evoking an almost psychedelic vision. The aim is to encourage reflection on individual perception within unique settings, inviting viewers to engage with the interplay of light and the intricacies of visual experience.
RGBlaster (2008-2014)
This installation consists of three strobe lights filtered in red, green, and blue, operating at the slowest flash rate. Due to slight manufacturing variations, the lights occasionally synchronize, resulting in a dynamic display of colored and white light. This work highlights the randomness of color perception and its impact on the viewer’s experience.
RGBlaster 2 (2014)
Utilizing RGB LEDs and translucent white foil, this piece presents the three primary colors in a sequential manner. As the speed of the transitions varies, the colors merge into white light, creating optical illusions and patterns that engage human perception. This installation invites contemplation on the fluidity of color and visual interpretation.
A Blink (2014)
Discreetly located in the restroom, this installation features modified fluorescent lights controlled by a microprocessor that generates random delays mimicking the human blink rate. The lights flicker off for a brief moment (1/50 of a second), resulting in an ephemeral experience that may go unnoticed by some. This piece serves as a reminder of the fleeting moments that influence perception.
