a globe, a world

Within the work, a globe, a world influences from artists such as James Turrell and Dan Flavin are evident as Lieberman creates a light simulation virtually. The piece focuses on geometry and examines how colour, light, and grid can commingle in novel and dynamic ways. The work is inspired by Edward E. Zajac’s first ever computer-animated film entitled ‘Simulation of Two-Gyro Gravity-Gradient Attitude Control Systems’ created in 1963. Zach Lieberman uses Zajac’s fundamental animation as a source of inspiration and reference to computer history.
