Overview
The idea of this installation is for people to form their own creative goals, creator Doug Makinson explains. It invites the audience to create patterns by exploring the motion of a series of pendulums. A luminescent trace records the patterns people make. The images left by the swinging motion gradually fades leaving a blank canvas for the next person to fill.
Doug says: "Hopefully people will experiment with it and then try different patterns. There are infinite possibilities depending on the speed you turn the turntable and the angle you swing the pendulum. I try to make the way it works transparent to help people see that you can produce quite complicated patterns with something that is actually quite simple."
Doug chose Silo Park as the location because the huge solid cylinders create the perfect contrast for the fleeting motion of the pendulums. "It's quite interesting to see how people use the pendulums because it's not always in ways which I'd predict," he says.
