And I was spending a lot of time, way too much time, in front of a screen

for work that would be presented on a screen,

and I had this great need to get my hands back on the work again.

before there was such a thing as cinema and television,

animation was hugely popular in this form.

and you look through the slits into the inside of the drum,

and it's animation I could get my hands on again.

I went there with my family on a Fulbright Fellowship.

and shot all the interesting moving elements of Copenhagen:

And I brought all that video back into the physical world

by printing it out on these long strips of ink-jet paper

Now, I invented my own form of the zoetrope,

and replaces the slits with a video camera.

because it meant that I could make these physical objects,

and I could make films from those objects.

and shot them to make the film "Copenhagen Cycles."

This project not only allowed me to get my hands back on the work again

Instead of spending 12, 15 hours a day with my face plastered to a screen,

I was having these little adventures with our new family

and it was kind of a symbiosis of art and life.

that zoetrope translates into "wheel of life."

But film and video does flatten sculpture,

a way that animated sculpture could be experienced as such,

and also a completely immersive kind of animated sculpture.

And that's where I came up with the idea for the zoetrope tunnel.

I plan to finish this project in the next 30 to 40 years.

and stick animated sequences to the walls

People would comment that it reminded them of an MRI.

I was diagnosed with a degenerative retinal condition

and I'd never responded to that in my work.

So I responded to it in this piece called, "Implant."

It is an imaginary, super-magnified medical device

And the public is, in a sense, miniaturized to experience it.

and discover thousands of cell-sized robots

hard at work, leaping in and out of the optic nerve,

It's my science fiction fantasy cure of my own incurable disorder.

Now, in the real-world gene therapy and gene therapy research,

healthy genes are being administered to unhealthy cells using viruses.

There's a lot of colorful, fluffy hope in this,

and there's also some creepy, threatening idea

of viruses maybe becoming an invasive species in your body.

Vision loss has helped to take me away from the things
