Column

© 2007, Michael O'Rourke

 

Along one edge of the long column, an array of video windows, each showing a slice of real-time video captured of the people in the vicinity of the sculpture. Thus, as you walk near or around the sculpture, you may see yourself occasionally appear in the video running along the side of the column.

As I was developing this and other models in this series, I was simultaneously developing a proposal for a large-scale interactive sculpture for Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park, Hiroshima, Japan. Here is my hand-written note about Column in that vein made the same day I made this paper maquette. (The "~" at the beginning is my shorthand for "approximately".)
