Taken
Dave Kemp
August 2nd, 2008
Springer Market Square
On Saturday August 2nd, from 12 noon to 5pm, at Springer Market Square, Dave Kemp will present Taken, a camera obscura within a van. Climb inside a camera and see the world in a whole new way!
By making a camera obscura within a van it is possible to have a moving enclosure and thus a moving image of the environment outside. The rear portion of a van is completely blacked-out with the only light allowed to enter comingthrough a 1/4" pinhole on the rear window. The result is a rather disorienting perceptual experience, so hang onto yourself. Meet with the artist and arrange for a ride at the Modern Fuel booth that will be located in the Courtyard of the Springer Market Square in downtown Kingston.
