CONTENT W/ INFINITE CONTENT, scrolling lightbox, video, tri-vision, crates, tarps, fan and whirlybird. 2019
The sun rises around 6:00am in Bangkok for the better part of the year. Watching it illuminate the cityscape from the window of my studio is an opportunity I treasure. The same rise time is somehow also always unique – a physical embodiment of its call to start again, anew each morning. More recently, the horizon has also become home to several large LED billboards. These screens rise, without fail, at 6:02 each day – displaying the brand names of their manufacturers briefly before illuminating the facades of the buildings surrounding them in an endless loop of projected content on par with the sunrise in the strength of its illumination. The looping words and images repeat infinitely, as if calling us to start again, each morning, exactly where and how we left off the day before.
Content with Infinite Content is an installation of forms that play within that space found between parallels of natural and created phenomena, unique and repetitive content. The physical form of the whirlybird/turbine spinning in realtime represents the natural rise and fall of day, while the looping video references the images and content projected upon the LED billboards, both of which are reflected [in form] upon the trivision signage that sits below.
Assembling a skyline together, the scrolling lightbox hung above houses images of ‘created horizons’ while the structure behind strives to support land [green], sky [blue] and sun [yellow]
