Infinite Peruse was featured in the Pacific Northwest's premier exhibition exploring light, space, and perception in contemporary art.
Pacific Light
The Seattle Art Museum's 2007 exhibition "Light/Space" brought together works that explored the relationship between artificial light, architectural space, and viewer perception.
Infinite Peruse was installed in the Olympic Sculpture Park's iconic weather pavilion, where its sequenced neon programming created a dialogue with the Pacific Northwest's diffuse natural light.
Technical Innovation
The installation utilized a custom-programmed sequence that responded to ambient light sensors, adjusting the neon pulse patterns throughout the day to create a continuously evolving visual experience.
This adaptive programming marked a significant technical advancement, representing the first integration of real-time environmental response systems in the artist's work.
Exhibition Documentation
Viewer Experience
The Seattle installation drew record attendance, with visitors often spending extended time in the pavilion to experience the full cycle of the work's programming.
Many viewers reported a profound sense of temporal distortion, with the work's slow pulse patterns creating an almost meditative state that challenged their perception of passing time.
