Colored pixels slowly build up into abstract patterns. Scored by Steve Reich’s “Music for 18 Musicians.” As described by the Los Angeles Times: “the artist pains kinetic abstractions with electrons. The piece begins with a few colored squares, scattered about a plain field, and grows to larger scale arrangements of overlapping rectangles. Sequences of flickering movement and changing color are impeccably orchestrated as squares become building blocks in handsome compositions.”
