Night Lights consists of two memories, the sound level and brightness of Alfred Hitchcock's film, Psycho, displayed on 2 night lights.

This work consists of two memories. The first memory is of the sound level of Alfred Hitchcock's film, Psycho. The second memory is of the brightness of the image during the same film. These two memories are synchronized and used to change the brightness of two light bulbs. Loud scenes are bright on the left-hand bulb and dark scenes are dark on the right-hand bulb. Campbell created two editions of this work, each with different lightbulbs.
