New TV

New TV (2017) is a series of mixed-media time-based sculptures that transform flat screen televisions through acrylic rods, mirrors, and semitransparent gray acrylic arranged in bilateral symmetry. The familiar glow of a television emanates from unfamiliar, mandala-like forms — transmitting feeling rather than information, creating space for calm and reflection where screens typically generate tension and complexity.

Abstract video glows through the sculptural elements to create flowing, aurora-like streaks and swirling concentric patterns. There is nothing to read, no information to consume — only shifting color and time that feels suspended, cyclical, open-ended. The slow, undulating rhythm contrasts sharply with the rapid-fire stimulation of typical screen encounters, creating space where audiences can step outside habitual ways of experiencing technology.

The imagery shifts dramatically as viewers move, making physical presence essential to the experience. In an era of ubiquitous, disembodied screens, the work insists on embodiment — the dimensional, physical elements make the viewer's position critical to what they see. The bilateral symmetry echoes sacred geometric forms used across cultures to create contemplative states, while ambient drone with subtle pulse fills the space through surround sound, synced to the visual rhythm.

By transforming televisions from information-transmitting devices into abstract sculptural light sources, New TV suspends the urgency screens are designed to generate. The work uses the screen against its original purpose — offering invitations to experience peace and connection.
