I recall wondering why exactly we were walking through a door cautioning us of radiation only to step inside and be confronted by this massive alien laser beam. The caution on the door kept with me the entire time as i stood mesmerized. Curious what your thoughts are regarding the humidity and humming noise that accompanied the visual? Created an other worldly environment for sure.gshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18295396487498617640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466314672723988836.post-89130228206703931992018-02-27T08:18:44.980-08:002018-02-27T08:18:44.980-08:00The atmosphere you've created it spot on.

The radiation warning outside paired with the strangeness of a fence functioned as a way to keep people out of the artwork but felt more like a means of protecting us. Is the wetness underneath the lasers somehow radiated? Have I now fully exposed myself to radiation bouncing off the walls of this enclosed warehouse? Despite all that consideration of risk, what might it possibly mean that I'd go back?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03445515679800715429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466314672723988836.post-50054806015324609072018-02-26T20:12:55.725-08:002018-02-26T20:12:55.725-08:00I enjoyed the fact that McBride used water vapor a...I enjoyed the fact that McBride used water vapor and light as the materials with which she created her work in this instance yet the use of the hyperbolic paraboloid hourglass shape was perplexing to me. When the axis of the form is vertical, McBride draws a parallel between the geometric form and the actress Mae West, yet when sideways, she ignores that connection. Also, the feature of a restrictive fence seemed strange considering the normal interactive quality of the artists work. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10626509801077660171noreply@blogger.com
