Here’s the work installed. The video work is made for projecting at 1:1 scale rather than showing on a monitor. This installation video shows the gap between the projector and the image – the gap that seems to carry the flight of the pens to the page; it also shows the quality of the wall and the distance to the floor, which makes sense of the sound made by the pens as they hit the wall and then, after a pause, hit the floor.
The effect is different again when you’re in the room itself: the eye, the projector, the image and the origin of each biro’s trajectory keep lining up differently as you move around the space.
