Description

Lest We Forget is a three channel video sculpture depicting real-time climate change data using a newly developed technique called perspective mapping. The technique exploits the basic property of bare LCD screens which do not show video without a light source due to the layered linear polarizer sheets. Adding light sources behind the screens reveals the content and effectively maps the video content of the screen onto the light source if the observer aligns it correctly with their viewpoint.
