An auto-reactive installation, one that plays with our sense of reality by continually causing us to perceive and experience a space and an object in new ways. Its surfaces projected with impossible light situations, the object becomes a mirror of changing realities. Ideas are seized upon and returned; the space is transformed into a sound box that enters into a reflexive dialogue with the sculpture. 10.2 channel audio, 1500 ft. DMX-controlled, electro-luminiscent wire, 360º quasi-spherical light projections. Duration ~90 mins. Premiere: Cologne, January 2010 http://piethopraxis.org/projects/revolving-realities/
