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 “Traces”, a webcam senses the visual location of viewers, altering the position and colors of abstract vertical bands on the screen. The color bands appear to be traveling upward rapidly though time, changing width and shifting left or right based on viewer position. Visual aberations of color or brightness quickly appear and disappear in their streaming path, suggesting a level of disturbance to their flow. Continuous interactive video. LED panels, translucent acrylic, aluminum, computer hardware, and customized software. Approximately 54”W x 29”H x 4”D.
