This work consists of 32 sets of speaker boxes that have speakers and light bulbs
attached to them. When a sound is played over a speaker,
the attached light momentarily switches on.
These units are placed around the tower in various openings
(windows, defensive positions, utility ducts, etc).
The total system of 32 elements are triggered to create complex and shifting
patterns of light and sound, coating the tower in a mesh of kinetic activity.
These momentary events mark fleeting points of conversion between the inner and the outer,
representing and plotting a flow of energies through and beyond the space.
The work draws upon the theme of the Mandala, which are drawings made up
of geometrical patterns ｭ circles, squares and so on - used in esoteric practices
of Buddhism in countries like Japan and Tibet.
In general, a Mandala is expressed as static, either two-dimensionally or
three-dimensionally; however, it is said, in fact, that Tibetan monks and
Jung see Mandalas as having movement. By way of sound and light, this
installation expresses the psychological energy and dynamic movement that
originally pertains to a Mandala.
