An algorithmic composition for amplified fluorescent lights.

Deriving its formal aspects from the idea of the binary -- a lamp is either on or off -- and limited to a minimalist palette of white light and 60-cycle hum, this work creates an optical and aural theater which presents light in all its corporality, not as ethereal or transcendent substance, but as the physical result of switches closing and power plants humming, perturbation as much as illumination, the consequence of destruction and the signifier of creation.
