Black on Black White on White
White Noise, ACMI.
18th August - 23rd October, 2005.

The project is a multiscreen arts installation included in the White Noise exhibition at ACMI. The project invites the viewer to explore the limits of their visual perception. A geometric pattern unfolds across a background of similar colour; the subtle difference between the two appears only when the display is viewed from certain angles, due to the polarization of light. To 'see' the work requires an active reconfiguring of our cultural viewing habits.
