Spin, by Liz Nofziger is a massive disco ball compressed within a 12′ gallery space. Live broadcast TV is projected onto the slowly rotating ball. The constant and familiar images of television are flung about the space, transforming the trash into something fabulous. Viewers can catch a glimpse of their own reflections in the ball, overlaid with bits of television imagery moving across their bodies.
Sparked by a 1950s era laundry across the street and the barrage of media around us, this piece explores the literal and abstract meanings of the word spin.
Via Neural (italian + english version).
