Industrial fan, bicycle wheel, magnetic tape, projected video (color, sound)Dimensions variable 9 min, video loopEdition of 3, 2 AP

Spin is a kinetic sculptural installation featuring a fan attached to a bicycle wheel that spins long strips of magnetic tape. As the tape, sourced from a VHS cassette, oscillates and creates white noise, it descends in a sparkling, tangled pattern. The installation is illuminated by a side projection of colorful footage. This projection, captured by spinning a video camera, generates various light sources and animates sparks of reflection on the tape. The work transforms the tape’s data-carrying function into an artifact of universal communication.
