6 in a Row

6 in a Row is a digital video wall drawing consisting of electrical outlets, electrical boxes, yellow extension cord, dvd players, power transformers, lcd monitors and a/v cable. Each of the dvd players is playing the same six digital animations of a single figure doing a repetitive motion, however the order of play has been changed for each. Question: will the same six strobing figures appear on each lcd monitor at the same time?

animations: 1. man jumping backwards animation created from the Muybridge photograph "Man Standing and Jumping Backwards" 2. young girl as power ranger created from an original video of a young girl dressed for Halloween practicing karate moves, Brooklyn, NY
