Crossing Over | Tracking movement Intricate process Recombination |

ately I have been working with the pinhole turret extensively. Especially interesting is how the pinhole functions as a natural optic for "ambientambulations,” without the need for any additional neutral density. The specific manor in which it responds to radiation as a function of forward movement is exceptionally satisfying. This is yet another powerful perceptional modality transforming the mundane into the magical. On a bright sunny day, on a short trip across campus to the library coffee dispensary, visual opportunities abound.
