| The Video Wind Chimes is a
public artwork/video installation by Sheldon Brown that connects
the movement of the wind to the revelation of the pervasive
electromagnetic fields which inhabit the atmosphere, particularly
those that are encoded and transmitted as part of broadcast
television. The piece consists of four video projectors mounted
inside of winged housings suspended 20' above the ground, projecting
a focused television image on the ground. As the wind blows
the chimes, causing them to sway in the wind, they change the
tuning of the television signal that they are displaying. The
viewer, entering the shifting field of the projected image,
reveals a condition that we are constantly a part of, whether
the television is on or not, blurring assumed boundaries between
nature and culture. |
