My light signals can be seen by hundreds of apartments surrounding
the studio, as well as the people passing by in the subway.
Communicating via light signals gives me simultaneous access to
estimated 1000 people at once them that I otherwise wouldn't get.
I'm hoping to get a reply from one of the surrounding windows.
I introduce quotes from Samuel Morse that I found in his letters
archived in the Library of Congress.
I start with his visions on his new invention, euphorically talking
about a revolution of communication, and how his code is able to
prevent the war.
I quote Morse trying to prevent his code to fall into the hands
of corporations causing evil.
Having been a painter and art professor himself he wrote about
how to construct the perfect painting.
Another text I would like to use is a highly emotional letter to
his friend Cooper describing in a despairing tone how and why he
is giving up painting.
In between these longer streamings I will continue my original
messages, trying to get into touch with people.
Currently I’m setting up a website, where people can type
in their message, and then see it translated into Morse code and
streamed through my windows.
