Pendulum is part of MNEMONIC DEVICES. To echo the visual and conceptual qualities of the other pieces, a four-foot  tall sculptural pendulum with embedded video elements completes  the installation. Each arc of the pendulum switches between live, closed-circuit images of the gallery play space and pre-recorded images from turn of the century playgrounds, when film began.  In a sense, the pendulum component creates a literal ‘see-saw’ sway, a movement between present and past.

Photographs, home movies, and today's digital media inform the way we remember and interact with one another. They extend and even become our memories. This installation and its accompanying performance attempt to pose questions about patterns of 'memory' and interaction, contrasting electronic technologies to age-old bodily methods. What is enabled and what is lost? MNEMONIC DEVICES explores these questions in an installation that resembles a media saturated playground.
