digital prints and film (Daniel Rehn and Sarah Caluag, 2009)
Knight Lights is a deconstruction of the cult-classic game, Knight Lore. It was released in 1984 for the Sinclair Spectrum ZX, and is notable for it's progressive gameplay within design constraints. The genre of isometric-puzzlers was invented with Knight Lore.
The first print represents the color distribution throughout the game, as the knight traverses between rooms. In the second (larger) print, each row represents a sampling of one minute in the recording. This corresponds with the colored segment located in the recording.
