Ilkka Paloniemi: Space Scanning

A laser-based work, which reveals histories and stories of spaces.

Space Scanning outlines the contours of space by red and green lasers, which chase each other like in a horological marathon. The work creates a clockwork-like sound, revealing the histories and stories of the space. 

MA, b. 1964, lives in Espoo, Finland
