Chiasmus

This video clip documents Stephen Cady's MFA Thesis Exhibition Chiasmus April 4-5, 2008 at the University of Illinois at Chicago's South Gallery.

Chiasmus consists of a square grid of 64 individually motorized cube elements controlled by custom software that analyzes and interprets the luminance of projected video imagery to create movement within the volume. This video documents Chiasmus during the MFA exhibition opening.

The projector behind it projects onto the cubes and the cubes essentially react to grayscale levels on each cube and decide where the cube should be. If it's darker, it might recede, but if it's brighter, it might extend.

Simple as that. :)
