We looked at a couple of his works that used light bulb LED grids, including the Madison Square Park one that showed humans, another that showed more recognizable figures in a gallery setting and another gallery piece with birds. An article says he thinks about pixels and about expanding images out from their original forms- so conceptually, the Madison Square piece was about describing human movement in a city setting in a highly urban medium, light, but also, technically, about translating flat footage captured with a camera into an unexpected, three-dimensional image installation. So, we think it's art that isn't immediately understandable to the general public, but still fun, who doesn't like lights :)
