Painting + Maker technology

Media and technology are the dominant forms of entertainment and more than a century ago, everyone went to the circus. The fading colors of the L.E.D. lights in these “paintings” represent the bright lights of the circus, a ghostly body of a clown, and reactionary emojis while the last performance of the near 150-year Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus was live-streamed on social media.
