Standing Wave / In Tune With Myself
2006
dual channel video projection, available in single channel edition
dimensions variable
Two forces beat against each other, trying to achieve unison, but never quite finding it.

A simultaneous hello and goodbye which attracts and repels.

"A standing wave, also known as a stationary wave, is a wave that remains in a constant position...it can arise as a result of interference between two waves traveling in opposite directions..."

Thusly, this piece is an intentional failed attempt at creating a standing wave visually and aurally.

Video above is an excerpt from a 6 minute loop. Original piece is intended for two semi overlapping projections which create the middle image. Original installation filled a corner of the room so it instantly greeted viewers as they walked through the door.
