LOCATION: 701 Warren Street (The soon-to-be John Findysz Studio)
VIEWABLE: 24 hours a day
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Peering into a space though a
lens attached to a window, the
viewer spots a mirage; a
recognisable form rendered
weightless by technology. Sometimes
it retreats back to the wall from where it
came; occasionally it floats towards the viewer
deeper into open space, an apparition, a
ghostly image. The objects react to the space;
they connect with surfaces and interact with
the existing environment. GREG LOCK’S virtual
reality projection highlights the existence of the
real world and articulates its spatial qualities
