Astonishing Experience Box Set

 

On Oct 7, 2006, the  Astonishing Experience Box Set installation premiered at the Seed Gallery at the artist 
village in Santa Ana California.  The show ran from Oct 7 - Dec 2, 2006.
The show was billed as  "Light. Shadow and Motion: exploring the way light alter our environments"

The installation included an old television a dvd player, optional headphones, a chair, and a faux living room setup.  In some ways, like the old Maxell tape commercials, although the living space was more archaic.  On the televison, the Astonishing Experience Box Set played as a loop.  

This was the only time that this particular installtion was made available to the public, and the DVD that
hosts the Astonishing Experience Box Set was never played again.  The total run time of the video from start to finish was 6:52, and was broken up into 6 distinct experiences.  But, in direct conflict with the installation setup, there was no restriction to the viewing of the the video in linear terms, and the option of sound (headphones) was the direct responsibility of the viewer.
