Slumped Glass, Projection, Light, CRT Television, Arduino, Steel, Push Buttons (2021)
This interactive and immersive sculpture was created by gutting out the inside of an old CRT television and replacing the glass screen with a protruding glass form. Projected on the screen are short experimental films that distort along the curves of the glass landscape— suggesting the distortion that mainstream media has created in our everyday lives. The interactive buttons on the front of the TV control the light portals beaming from behind, inviting the audience to interact with the sculpture and create their own viewing experience. Conceptually, this sculpture comments on the effects that mainstream media has on society’s perception of reality and our need to escape reality through various virtual screens.
