Artist Statement:
Light Pattern is a programming language that uses the meta-data from photographs that are taken with an Arduino-controlled camera for source code. In effect, this work writes code in photographs instead of in text-based code such as “GOTO 10”. Variations in the colour and exposure between photographs are interpreted by the computer as commands. When installed in the gallery setting, the Arduino-controlled camera takes a continuous stream of photographs, which builds a perpetual series of new Light Pattern programs. These programs are shown in video form, and stand at the intersection of photography and code.
