Bindu

a video installation

   

Six monitors are placed facing outward in a hexagonal mandala, subverting their conventional frontality. Here, visual fragments of the world come and go, as packets of visual energy are infused with the sound of the ocean. Watching Bindu should be like watching for the space between thoughts, paying attention to the process of thinking rather than the content. The title is from Sanskrit and can be translated as "universal seed-point."
