Artists Statement

Discotrope is an audiovisual performance that resembles a cinematic nightclub light show. At the heart of the show is the Discotrope, a solar-powered disco ball that reflects videos in a kaleidoscopic rotating projection. Discotrope’s projected visuals depict the history of people ‘dancing at cameras’, from Thomas Edison to YouTube.  discotrope.org
