Crystal Lab

CRYSTAL LAB ’00
A labyrinthine installation constructed from forty-seven plexiglas sheets with metal post and beam supports. Hand painted on each panel are coded signs: equations, graphs and other databased sources.
The shimmering or manufacturing surfaces of the five series recall the futurist project. This time this work has a different idea for the future.
Negotiating the labyrinth, the viewer encounters layers of programmic structure. The deep sense of space and the overwhelming abundance of information transforms into a blur.
I like to think that when exiting, ‘Crystal Lab’ is analogous to emerging from Plato’s cave.
