Video: Jim Campbell’s Scattered Light:
Jim Campbell's Scattered Light from Craig Dorety on Vimeo.
The ‘pixel’ has been an omnipresent trope in architecture for years. Despite its well-worn presence as a post-rationalizer in design, there is still much to be said and made of the process.
As we’ve mentioned a few times before, Jim Campbell’s light installation in Madison Square Park is both a feat of engineering, a play on the notion of resolution, and an ambient meditation on urban life. Made up of a square matrix of 2,000 light sources programmed to convey images of humans and birds moving through the light field, Scattered Light is a piece that needs to be seen in motion to be understood. To that end, we’ve embedded a few videos of the piece for those of you not in NYC at the moment.
