Installed outdoors on Cherry Street near Harrison Square, the work utilizes thousands of sheets of copy paper reclaimed from the Georgia Tech Library’s recycling bins to create a fluttering “kinetic screen” suspended between the trees lining Cherry Street, spanning the road. As night falls, projections of daytime skies with clouds illuminate the paper. The projections, recorded around campus at hourly intervals throughout the day, are separated and organized by moments of saturated color that correspond to the time at which each video segment was recorded.

Inversion represents the first artwork made as part of the Media Arts Artist-in-Residency program from the Center for Interdisciplinary Media Arts (IMA) and funded by generous grants from the Office of the Executive Vice President for Research and GVU/IPaT, with additional support by the Georgia Tech Library. This media art experience is open to the entire Atlanta community. Food and drinks will be served.

Please spread the word to students, friends, and family! Inversion will be up and run nightly from April 25 to May 8.

In case of rain, the reception will take place at the Scholars Event Network Theater, Room 1280, first floor, Prince Gilbert Library.
