Projection is uncontainable: as the light image is reflected and diffused, it fills the room with a warm illumination. This space isn’t bounded; it extends beyond as we reflect and scatter.

Projected material traverses a shared space with the audience, who becomes implicated in the flow of film/video/sound material. This space and moment is also animated by the affective projections of each individual audience member. We co-author the infinite and potential relations; we occupy sensuality. Light Show focuses on the utopian possibilities of projection through a network of projected sound, video, and film pieces.
