Artist Statement:

A poured resin diffusion screen is mounted in these works in front of a matrix of LED pixels. Various pedestrian, auto and boat traffic scenes are displayed from the perspective of an outside viewer. The resin block softens the image from the highly pixelated representation of the LEDs to a decipherable image. The pixel is captured when viewed from the side. In some the cast of light gradually changes from its smallest condensed point to a homogeneous glow of information, in others the cast of light remains a soft glowing orb.
