A book developed in conjunction with the eponymous exhibitions
consisting of oversized custom flexible heating circuits, used for
environmental regulation in the sealed environments. More Heat Than
Light is a book developed in conjunction with the eponymous
exhibitions, co-organized for 2015-16 by the Wattis Institute, San
Francisco and Kunsthalle Basel. The work, exhibited at both of
those institutions as well as an anonymous Airbnb rental apartment
in New York, consists of oversized custom flexible heating
circuits, used for environmental regulation in the sealed
environments of equipment as diverse as medical equipment and food
trays, in satellites and chemical vats. The heating circuits in
More Heat Than Light are several times their conventional size,
scaled-up and designed to draw their power and maximize the energy
resources of the electrical circuits allotted for lighting within
the sites they are inserted into. Energy allotted for stable
artificial light is converted in this work into diffuse uneven
warmth. This process is circumscribed with a strict regime of
documentation. Each iteration of the exhibition is documented with
a live feed from a thermal camera. The book itself, designed in
collaboration with Geoff Kaplan, is conceived as a stand-alone
object utilizing images taken with the thermal camera as well as
research material relating to the work. On one hand, it picks-up
the structure of a log of core temperatures of the sort compiled
for analysis by the logistics and distribution industry. On the
other hand, its format and layout utilize a two-color gradient
printing process that interrupts the logical, spatial organization
of the gridded screen-shots. This opposition between grid and
gradient are staged in the book along a fragmentary work of
theoretical fiction by Mark von Schlegell, as well as texts by
Anthony Huberman, Elena Filipovic, Melanie Gilligan, and Sam
Lewitt, all offering insight into some of the core themes and
interpretations of the work.
