Isaac Newton - in an undated letter to John Locke
The manner was this. I looked a very little while upon ye sun in a lookingglass wth my
right eye & then turned my eyes into a dark corner of my chamber & winked to observe
the impression made & the circles of colours wch encompassed it & how they decayed by
degrees & at last vanished. in a few hours time I had brought my eys to such a pass that I
could look upon no bright object with either eye but I saw ye sun before me, so that I durst
neither write nor read but to recover ye use of my eyes shut myself up in my chamber
made dark for three days together & used all means to divert my imagination from ye
Sun.
But now I have been very well for many years, tho I am apt to think that if I durst venture
my eyes I could still make ye phantasm return by the power of my fansy.
Using the destruction of the camera as allegory, Opticks (I) explores the interdependance
of the external world and the sensory medium.

Using a rail journey between Chicago and New York City as raw material, the image is flipped and doubled to approximate an audio waveform passing through the sound head of a film projector. Patterning in the landscape (rural, urban, empty, busy, geometric, formless) is rephotographed live and generates the soundtrack.
