Jim Campbell - Scattered Light

Jim Campbell: Scattered Light in Madison Square Park, New York City, October 21 through February 28, 2011.

The LED bulbs, programed to flicker scattered light, create the illusion of figurative images that explore and reflect the human experience amidst the urban landscape, creating the appearance of giant human shadows crossing a floating 3-D matrix of light. As one travels around the piece, the vantage point alters and the light figures begin to abstract, blurring the boundaries between image and object.
