‘Volume (Renwick),’ Leo Villareal, 2015

Only part of Villareal's artwork is visible in the materials suspended above the staircase. This hardware serves primarily as a vehicle for the visual manifestation of code -- an artist-written algorithm employing the binary system of 1s and 0s telling each LED when to turn on or off. This simple command creates lighting sequences that will never repeat exactly as before. It also changes how we think of code, from a line of characters that can be read on any screen to an object that must be witnessed in the museum.

The gallery across the hall was being readied for a new exhibit, thus the "danger" sign, warning visitors not to try to enter.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.

Interesting installation. But what is the "Danger" sign all about? V
