Night Light (Isometric Delight)


Jason Urban, Night Light (Isometric Delight), February 2005


Night Light (Isometric Delight)... a glow-in-the-dark installation influenced by a variety of sources including anamorphosis, op art, and the movie Tron. This installation was about drawing, light, and the relationship of two- and three-dimensional forms. Upon entering the room, the viewer was enveloped by complete darkness from which the glow-in-the-dark isometric cube pattern emerged. The overall effect was disorienting in that the viewer was unsure of where "the room"- its corners, ceiling, etc., was situated.
