Spatial Installation
Co-Authored, 2009
A large-scale Camera Obscura environment from within which viewers experience Antarctic auroral conditions, surrounded by a multitude of light refractions and visual imagery projected through custom lenses onto a back-projection skin. 'Lightbox' serves as a crossover space where explorations of optics, meteorology, perception and light converge.
