William Lamson is a fellow POCer and one of the most original, witty and creative artists working today. For his latest project, A Line Describing The Sun, William has finally scaled his genius to its appropriate size.
A Line Describing the Sun involved a day long performance in which I followed the path of the sun with a large Fresnel lens mounted on a rolling apparatus. The lens focuses the sun into a 1,600-degree point of light that melts the dry mud, transforming it into a black glassy substance. Over the course of a day, as the sun moves across the sky, a hemispherical arc is imprinted into the lakebed floor.
A Line Describing the Sun is on display at Pierogi in Brooklyn through October 10.

That's amazing. I had no idea you could magnify sunlight so much to have that affect so fast.

Very interesting
The installation is really breathtaking. The sheer size and quality of the projection really draws you into the piece. Definitely worth seeing in person for anyone that hasn't. Normally I'm uninterested in video art, but this really astounded me.
