  description a collaborative project with artists dalziel and scullion an instrument designed to reflect the age of the enlightenment in edinburgh this was part of a touring show commissioned by the lighthouse scotland centre for architecture design and the built environment in 2007.‘at the centre of a darkened space an optical instrument turns on a tripod in a slow 360-degree arc. as it turns it reveals images of the contrasting moments and movements in the everyday life in the city of edinburgh. whilst utilising contemporary technology, this mechanism recalls the older, ghost technologies that once mediated and measured our surroundings and our place in the world.
