> darkness and light intertwined <

 

A generative audio and video installation.
Am I attracted to this? Or disgusted by it? Does it arouse me sexually? Perversely? Or
merely interest me mildly? Is there anybody watching me watching this? Monitoring my
reactions. Determining my personal levels of perversion. What is happening exactly? How
does it end? Does it ever end?
The dark and the light struggle on the screen. What is real? What is imagined? What is
willed into reality by the imagination? What do you perceive? Are your eyes even open? Is
the screen really on the wall? Or in your mind?
This is an installation full of questions but offering no answers, only the voyeuristic
peephole into another's creation.
