Nervous Magic Lantern: SPIRAL NEBULA

2005, 46 min, color, silent

WARNING: This work contains throbbing light. Should not be viewed by individuals with epilepsy or seizure disorders.

This work is derived from one of Jacobs' Nervous Magic Lantern performances, which are created with a hand-manipulated projector and use neither film nor video. Highly stroboscopic and hallucinatory, this kinetic performance results in otherworldly spaces and plays of near-abstraction and suggestive imagery. This work highlights Jacobs' relentless experimentation with the very fabric of projected light.
