Ray Rapp, interior of installation, January 1990
A participatory video installation by Ray Rapp involving a monumental plexiglass cube and a closed circuit camera suspended from the gallery ceiling. Open on one side to allow entry, the eight-foot cube is embossed with a video interference (bar-dot) pattern. Embedded in a plaster incline within the cube is a color monitor showing scenes from inside and outside of the exhibition space. "Enclosure" serves the anticipated relationship between the video components: the monitor plays a pre-recorded tape, while the camera swings freely, randomly surveying the exhibition space.
This video installation included an 8-foot plexiglas cube, video monitors, and a closed circuit camera suspended from the gallery ceiling. Open on one side to allow entry, the cube was filled with a rough white plaster incline in which were embedded video monitors with feed from the closed circuit camera, in addition to a video-loop depicting the process of pouring the plaster.
