Lucent
An interactive installation commissioned by the Office of Research Affairs at the University of California, San Diego. When visitors enter the building the software generates image sequences by querying the university library database for titles containing keywords "light" and "illuminated." The software then associates words from those titles with tagged images on Flickr.
Lucent produces visuals representing the apparent contradiction between public and private space. It taps into the free flows of information and often chaotic results produced by networked programmable machines which serve to further complicate those spaces.
