>>>>HOST_CAVITY<<<< is a video water fountain. Water is pumped into the upper basin and flows down through vinyl tubing. Five video signals flow into the vinyl tubing and pour into the basin, where they complete the circuit, mix and flow through the televisions. The sculpture amplifies a comparison of electrical and liquid current, accentuating the physicality of signal and electricity. The videos themselves are distorted collages flowing different directions across the screen that work with and against the phasing created by the TVs.
