Chromastrobe

Note: This installation cannot be accurately captured by camera. You have to be there to experience it!

Chromastrobe is an interactive video installation designed to immerse and transform the body’s gestures into residual trails of alternating colours. The video is flickering between red, green and blue frames at a rate of 60 progressive frames per second creating an unstable immersive colour field. The rapid alternation between red, green, and blue frames (or the primary colours of the additive colour model that when combined create white light) optically blend through sheer speed creating a pulsating "whitish" light. For the viewer, there are two main perceptual effects from this. The first is that the user experiences “RGB trails” as they move within the space. The second is that the rapid transitions between colours start to create visual patterns that are optical illusions/side effects of the strobing light.

Chromastrobe was presented at Videodrome 2012 at the MOCCA.

Chromastrobe was also featured in the Corpus Lucida exhibition at Interacccess Electronic Media Arts Centre from July 20 - August 18, 2012.

Chromastrobe was also featured in the National Drone Day Toronto ||| Night Drones exhibition at Polish Combatants Hall on May 9, 2015.
