About
The central element of this video sculpture is a small pyramid that lights up with projected imagery and sound when the audience triggers it by pulling one of the four ropes that are hanging from the ceiling. The pyramid is enclosed in a glass montre which also functions as a mirror box.
Because of the mirroring the audience sees multiple pyramids that seem to form a landscape. In that way the installation refers directly to the kaleidoscope (the title of the installation being the name of the inventor of the kaleidoscope).
The sculpture consists of a pedestal built in black MDF board and a montre on top of this made of semi reflective glass (one way mirror). This construction is 180 cm tall and 60x60 cm wide. Inside the glass montre sits a pyramid shape made out of rear projection acryllic. Inside the MDF pedestal is placed a cooling fan, a video projector and a speaker. The equipment is connected to a computer wcich is placed somewhere near the sculpture. Next to the montre are placed four black ropes with handles. The ropes are suspended from the ceiling and the audience can pull the ropes.
