Quantum Mechanically:

the real Mc Coy.

The strobe catches the refresh rate of a CRT screen in rough expression of the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle. The Principle accounts for and predicts aberration in the measurement of the duality of light and matter. The single effect of the strobe provokes a response inherent in the medium of the screen, in a broad analogy to the different likely position of a particle travelling on a wave expressed by Heisenberg. Like a quantam Surfer Joe, Heisenberg rose to the challenge presented by Luis De Broglie when he proposed that matter is not particularly particle or wave, but behaves like either, depending on how you observe it.

The previous installation creates a similar effect from two offbeat synchronised pulses which highlight almost random words as the eye is drawn to the larger pulse. The repeated chorus maintains the intention inherent in the verse.

(Note : De Broglie is pronounced De Broy. He was a prince, the duc de Broglie, awarded the Nobel Prize in 1929 amongst many other awards for his great achievements in science. The verse form is more or less a double dactyl or higgledy piggledy.)
