The Variant Series is a group of interactive video artworks created during the Covid-19 global pandemic that are stylized visualizations of the invisible at that time. In “Hosts”, a stereo microphone captures the location of sounds emanating from viewers, triggering corresponding circles to appear. Their color changes with each one, and their size is based on each sound’s volume, before slowly fading away. Overlapping circles appear to be brighter where they intersect, emphasizing a heightened sense of energy between them. Continuous interactive video. LED panels, translucent acrylic, aluminum, computer hardware, and customized software. Measures 55.5”W x 30”H x 5”D.
