Artist Statement:
The piece of work “Three Lux, one cubic foot” was originally made for a specific exhibition entitled “One Cubic Foot” in which invited artists were asked to produce work based on or around the use of one cubic foot of material.
The artwork itself is controlled by a single board computer based on HD6303 Microprocessor manufactured by Hitachi, and is programmed to take account of surrounding light levels aod then use this information to determine the final light sequence display.
Whilst this piece of work is slightly out of context with my other work it does embody the idea of interaction with its surroundings or spectators. This idea of “intelligent” interaction with the artwork is central to my own work and this is more evident in other pieces such as larger interactive sound installations, as well as interior and exterior interactive sculpture.
