Jim Campbell is one of my favorite artists
Exploded Views by Jim Campbell (via My Modern Met)
A light installation created with hanging light bulbs that create a moving image display:
If you’re headed to San Francisco sometime in the near future, make sure to drop by the SFMOMA to see a magical installation. Artist Jim Campbell just recently debuted “Exploded Views,” a random cascade of flickering LED lights…or so you think. Make it up to the 2nd floor landing and watch the lights transform into a 3D screen where human figures magically come to life!
Part sculpture, part cinematic screen, the grid is composed of thousands of computer-controlled LED spheres that create the illusion of fleeting shadow-like figures.
