“Occular Witness” is a series of installations that deal with light and seeing, and thematicize light in both a physical and metaphorical sense as a bearer of information and meaning. All of these experiments attempt to come to terms with questions of representation in a world of information glut and overproduction. Each model is set up as an optical problem in which the emission and absorption of light trigger reactions both by the machine’s systems of sensors as well as on the part of human observers, the “eyewitnesses”.
