Time to Make a Difference: The Artist’s Possible Lifespan in Seconds Larissa Wilson Acrylic, wood, LEDs, paint, computer components
Artist's Statement:
The seconds past and the possible seconds remaining in my life based on a projected lifespan, count down in this LED-illuminated, microprocessor-programmed conceptual sculpture. I created "Time to Make a Difference" as a reminder to be in the now in a Zen sense, with the cadence of seconds bringing a sense of urgency to be “awake” and engaged in the issues of our time. The digits shift in color for varying increments of time, changing at a random pace, to explore the difference between metronomic time and perceived experience.
