PERSISTENT OUTCOMES
Neon-flex lights, modular scaffold, timing system
A scaffold displays a series of programmed lights that pulse in rotating sequences, representing qualities that move between grandmother, mother, and daughter. Inspired by epigenetics, the work treats inherited traits not as fixed but activated, emerging through influence, proximity, and repetition. Korman calls the accumulation of small, ordinary behaviors, “invisible repetition”, noting they pass through the maternal line, gradually shaping identity over time. The repeating light sequences render these subtle transmissions visible, translating an unseen influence into rhythm and form.
