Madness Method (with David Greenfieldboyce)
Madness Method was 216 computer-controlled lanterns of varying heights that appeared chaotically arranged, flickering and changing in seemingly random patterns. As visitors explored the piece, patterns slowly become apparent in the placement and brightness of the lights. From a special, marked viewpoint, the lanterns snapped into alignment as a grid, acting as “pixels” in a larger display. The pixels showed a stream of simple images, animations, and text marquees that addressed themes of clarity, unification, human universality and connectedness. It was part of Georgetown GLOW 2021.
