The artist is photographing the screen of a normal analog TV using black and white film and a 35 mm camera. The camera is mounted to a rotating camera mount designed by the artist which allows the camera to spin 360 degrees around the center of the lens during a one second exposure. The TV is tuned in-between stations where there is only noise on the screen, however, by touching the television antenna at various points with his fingers and other objects, the artist exerts some influence on the image. Because the camera is rotating during the exposure of the film, it is capturing these patterns at completely random spatial orientations creating abstract compositions in light that are mostly the result of chance. | |||||||||||||||||||||
