"The work of the students from CMU is a direct result of the theme of this year’s BEYOND MEDIA Exhibition, 'Script.' The students spent several months investigating the influence of contemporary media sources and the difficulty in deciphering and filtering the mass of information delivered. The result of this research led to a spatial construct that exploits the basic precepts of architecture, space and light. By utilizing common construction materials, the students have created a dynamic, fluid form that is inherently interactive, yet does not rely on projection, verbal information or any advanced technologies.
The individual activates the installation by simply navigating the space and engaging the curvilinear form. The installation registers the presence of the individual by revealing the shadow of the human form on the opposite side. In this way, visual information is edited or filtered by the simplest of methods: light."
