PROJECT SUMMARY

Marked as a launching event for the synth/ops research group, 'Candle' is a not only a meditation on the poetics of the candle and the flickering light but also becomes a metaphorical meditation on the poetics and possibilities of network art.

A Candle situated at Ryerson university is placed in front of a speaker. A drummer in England beats a drum and transmits the audio over the internet to Ryerson University. The audio of the drum is played through the speaker beside the candle. As the drum beats the candle flickers to its base. The video is transmitted back to England and projected on a wall behind the drummer.

Launched at Ryerson University, Toronto November 2001.
