Large Video Kaleidoscope

2004•2m•

These short video works by Ara Peterson – filmmaker, artist, and a founding member of the art collective Forcefield – emerged from an installation centering around a large-scale glass kaleidoscope. The kaleidoscope functioned both as a sculptural element and as a kind of screen reflecting Peterson’s manipulations of a feedback loop created with a handheld video camera, resulting in endlessly morphing abstractions.
