Light Turned Down, 2001
Single-channel video with sound
Dimensions variable, 7 mins.
Courtesy the artists

Accompanied by a soundtrack created by sound artist Scanner, this single-channel video projection shows a hypnotic tunnel of light that was made by distorting and re-processing live footage of traffic lights. Light Turned Down is one of eleven collaborations between graphic artists D-Fuse and a number of electronic musicians for their DVD project DTonate (also presented in this exhibition) in which visual elements were sent to musicians, each of whom then created a soundtrack for the video, in ongoing conversation with the graphic artists.
