| "JOHN 3:16 Found NBA video footage is digitally enhanced and re-edited to track the motion of the ball-in-play. The seeming fluidity of the image belies the painstaking nature of the production process: over 5000 individual video frames have been enlarged and repositioned to create the moving image. POLTERGEIST Poltergeist is at once a sculptural, digital and filmic object. The title of the piece is borrowed from the 1986 Spielberg tale of the suburban uncanny, in which the presence of ghosts is manifested through the mysterious rearrangement of common household furniture. This filmic evidence of ghostly activity has been translated into digital code using 3D modelling software. The computer-simulated object is then "printed out" in miniature using a process called stereolithography, in which a laser fuses together particles of plastic dust in layers 1/1000 of an inch thick. The laser builds up the dust layer by layer to form a seemingly familiar object."
