I installed slide projector piece at Steve Matthewson's Buildingscape gallery in the Zhou B. Center in December 2005. This project, entitled "The Spaceman's Orbit," utilized the projectors as animation devices. I took a series of slides of a plastic cosmonaut figure, encircling him in a 360-degree orbit with the camera. By using a cross-fade mechanism between two projectors, I was able to animate this orbit around the figure on a wall in the gallery. The viewer makes a slow but steady trajectory around the triumphant cosmonaut, as suns set and rise on the horizon. The circlular slide carousels ensure that the animation loops continuously.
