Laurie McDonald, a member of Electron Movers assisted by Michael Carr, created the video installation Sylvanscapes at Artpark in Lewiston, NY. According to the catalog, phosphorescent chemicals were poured into three 100" lengths of clear flexible plastic tubing which were woven through the trees, rocks, and bushes of the Ames Theater trail to illuminate and draw through the woods; the tubing was then placed in the Niagara River at a point of changing currents with eddies and whirlpools. When currents ran downstream the lines were drawn 10" below the surface and diffused light, and when currents ran upstream sections surfaced and snaked to combine diffused and clearer light effects.
