Origin of the Second Night

This is the second work in an ongoing "Origin" series. The series of works uses self-actuating night lights with various magnifying lenses, telescopes and other optical devices set carefully to direct the light from each nightlight to the sensor of the next, creating a delicate on/off loop. Once all the lights are carefully set, the flashing loop sparks into life.


Materials: 

25 automatic night lights, found telescopes, magnifying lenses, aluminum wire, lamp cord, electric sockets
