Manufactured by Mark Figueredo Custom Lighting.
Tony Oursler's Lamp focuses on the ideal fantasy world of teenagers today by examining the effects of overloading young people with visual stimuli. Lamp is a rotating motion lamp with an inner acetate cylinder printed with images from found footage of online gaming sites and YouTube. As the cylinder is propelled by the heat of the light bulb, it rotates and casts these images over the faces of singing New York teenagers printed on the lamp's four outer Plexiglas panels. The constant movement of Lamp coupled with its powerful content become a visual manifestation of how a teenager's search for creative stimuli generates an almost constant appetite for more.
