Title: "Analog Trail" - 2016 Size: 46" x 38" Medium: bass, cedar, oak, plywood, paper, barbed wire, electronics • SOLD
"Many will recognize the parody I employed in this work, basing it on James Earle Fraser's famous "End of the Trail" (1915),
in which Fraser pays tribute to the Native Americans, and the fading of their once prevalent culture.
Similarly, I've hoped to allude to the rapidly passing analog-based culture…with its fire fading amidst the incoming digital storm."
-------------------------------
This work likewise involves lighting affects: slowly twinkling stars, intermittent thunder flashes, flickering campfire, and pulsing cellphone.
These lighting affects are achieved via 234 fully programmable "neopixel" LED lights, driven by a Cypress microcontroller.
* I would like to give recognition and thanks to Jon Sharp (Brentwood, TN) for his focused collaboration towards my overall lighting goals.
