The installation "Zabriskie Point 2006" explores the interplay of perception, light, and technology in a dynamic and interactive setting. Central to the artwork is a video camera embedded in the wall, filming the lens of a video projector which in turn projects its own light. This setup creates a continuous pulsation in the projection, as the camera continuously attempts to adjust to the changing light conditions by opening and closing its aperture.

The pulsating effect is a result of the camera's automatic adjustments, which cease when an object enters its view and it focuses on that object. This interaction between the camera and projector blurs the distinction between observer and observed, as the technology itself becomes an active participant in shaping the visual experience.

"Zabriskie Point 2006" invites viewers to reconsider the role of technology in perception and representation. By foregrounding the mechanisms of image production and the autonomy of the camera's response to light, the artwork prompts reflection on the subjective nature of vision and the influence of technological mediation on our understanding of reality.

Through this installation, I aim to create a space where viewers can engage with the fluid boundaries between perception and projection. The pulsating projection serves as a metaphor for the constant flux of human perception, highlighting how our understanding of the world is shaped by the interplay of light, technology, and our own presence within the environment.

Ultimately, "Zabriskie Point 2006" challenges viewers to consider how technology not only captures but also actively constructs our visual reality. It encourages a deeper exploration of the mechanisms of sight and the dynamic relationship between observer and observed in contemporary digital landscapes.
