And I get the same feeling as standing on a cliff edge, my palms and tongue tinned, my stomach falling. I was getting a lesson while preparing the studio this morning, a lesson in focusing on the central light instead of any story that wasn\u2019t there to begin with, like a sunspot.<\/p>\n<p>I think wuh wuh what was the question, what was the inquiry, the work, where was the beginning? How does one enter it. what is it? one body with stations? And why is it walk through? It can\u2019t just be for wow effect, the more artful but still useless version of decoration. What does it being walk-through give to the viewer participant? Immersion, to capture perception in personal physical space, to apprehend in a completely non-digital way, which is surely rarer and rarer. \u00a0To show the ratio of seen to seer. Is it a space the viewer enters or a projecting body? What is the question it is asking? How do you know what you see? or what is seeing? what is seeing. WHAT IS SEEING? that is its question. And then with the Digital Transparency. The digital see-through-ancy. \u00a0Not everything, ray charles reminds.<\/p>\n<p>And so there is the question of how the work enters the architecture as a body, and then there is the other question of what it does, what it asks, the why of being what it is, what it can show about seeing. i feel the flora in my guts just got right for having one question to speak into, what is seeing. you are absolutely free.<\/p>\n<p>I think right away now of the shape of rays invisible rays\u00a0<em>cos<\/em>mic rays, I say, knowing it sounds crackpot even when nothing could be any realer. I think of these rays entering the installation space, re-scaling it, light-up rail twirler.<\/p>\n<p>Uh the double helix as a view of the peaks of sine waves in a pattern of electromagnetic wave.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/godshampoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/electromagnetic-field-waves.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3619\" src=\"http:\/\/godshampoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/electromagnetic-field-waves.jpg\" alt=\"electromagnetic field waves\" width=\"283\" height=\"178\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>the work tells me, reminds me, that now it\u2019s distinct pieces that move into rooms as discrete units. because enough with the weaving the room which takes at least a week, for a mobile installation. sending the light through these lenses, this piece is either a column or subject to reflection. i don\u2019t have to know. i just have to start. on the present space, which is my own studio. see yourself through a curtain of lenses. but that\u2019s just the entrance.<\/p>\n<p>Magnetism \u2013 an experiment showing the invisible force we know is there.<\/p>\n<p>Re-creating the pathway of the telescope and\/or microscope \u2013 can be made walk through?<\/p>\n<p>What is seeing, what is seeing,<\/p>\n<p>Shadows with dimensionality,<\/p>\n<p>Switchout of the lenses as the final station<\/p>\n<p>crafting the baffle.
