Dervish consists of a spinning glass box with mirrored sides that is seen only as a blur refracting light/images onto the surrounding walls. Two video projectors modified with strobe lights point directly into the spinning object. In what appears to be a kind of centrifugal activity, shards and fragments of images are thrown out at rapid speeds in random, variable processions. The walls are illuminated in an ever-changing constellation of images accompanied by an array of sounds.
