Interesting, unusual concept from artist Kit Webster, who has covered the surface of a flat panel display with a grid of square pyramidal prisms of various sizes. The image displayed on the underlying screen is designed to interact optically with the prisms, bringing patterns of light and color up out of the screen into the third dimension. This seems like a pretty rich technique for experimentation. I don’t recall having seen it before, and between the number, size, shape, and arrangement of the prisms, and the huge number of ways the screen image could be designed to interact with them, the possibilities are quite vast.
