As Marianne pointed out in her response to Olafur Eliasson’s work ‘Water Pendulum,’ the work uses strobe to suspend a chaotic system in separate moments. The use of a strobe light allows the artist to stop the piece – for an instant – in time. In essence the artist can change the frame rate at which we observe the system, so that the intermediate frames – where the system travels from one state to another – are cut away. We are left with a jittery, lightning bolt hanging for only an instant in space. This piece offers a unique perspective on the change of a system in time.
