Artist Statement Large LED alphanumeric units are mounted in a 13 x 9 grid on the stage tower of this theatre. Like a conventional news sign textual information is scrolled through these elements, but because the alphanumeric units are spaced far apart, the projected information becomes abstracted into a more complex image - it generates a patterning of fragments of words and sentences that appear to weave in and out of the wall of the building. The theatre users interactively program this sign, taking titles and texts from performances that are being presented in the theatre. Thus the sculpture radiates fragments of texts from the current stage production to the viewers outside, and from a great distance draws attention and makes the building porous to a transfer of information from inside out.
