if/then
December 4, 2009 - January 3, 2010

if/then refers to an argument in the basic computer language. This argument states that if an input is activated then a response will occur via an output. In the case of this installation, houseflies activate the sensors with their subtle movements and in turn spotlights are illuminated and projected into the space. In this way the flies’ subtle movements are dramatically amplified.
