Window Mediation

Wall mounted sculpture, 2 channel video. 2021. 30” x 48” x 8”. Reclaimed LCD screens, 2 channel video, ccfl backlights, led strips, prismatic filter, raspberry pi, electronics, acrylic, steel, hardware.

In Window Mediation, the components of generic, discarded LCD screens are reconfigured to create multiple layers of technological mediation which interact with its adjacent outside surroundings.

Partial video-painting, partial contemporary ”stained glass”, the work presents two site-specific videos viewed through dismantled yet functional LCD panels, simultaeously projecting an image and retaining a see-through transparency: in this manner we see video of the surrounding environment while also seeing the actual surrounding environment through the screen transparency. This final layer of technological mediation and framing - the window - remains in dialogue with the looping videos as the outdoor conditions fluctuate and change.
