Christine Sciulli : LightWork

Christine Sciulli , Propulsion Field 4022 , 2015

Documentation of my installation Propulsion Field 4022 at Spring Break Art Show 2015 which utilizes the juxtaposition of essential geometry and visceral experience. Circles, defined by their very specific geometric properties, are projected into an amorphous fabric architectural intervention which raises questions regarding point of view and truth in
perception while creating a quietly chaotic immersive atmosphere in which visitors are invited
into sweeping torrents and lingering drifts of the leading edges of radial waves of light.
Hand pinned nylon fabric, 500 yards of 108” wide diamond mesh, is installed through the 16’ x20’ installation with an acoustical tile ceiling. The projected video is a computer animation of expanding and contracting white
circles 1 pixel wide of various speeds. The expansive installation does not repeat in any comprehensible way but reads as an ongoing immersion of lightwaves. The videos of perfect circles are projected onto the fabric environment. There is a perceived transformation of the circles into amorphous curvilinear lines as a result of
the projection’s interception by the partially transparent and partially translucent fabric which is attached to the walls and hung from the ceiling using the T-grid of the ceiling and pins into the walls.
