We were never big fans of video as museum art. You know, with installations and stuff. Then we saw this:
Those images are made out of light on water, kids. Maybe the intelligentsia aren’t so dumb after all?

Artist Statement
The work advection consists of several visual études projected on the continuously changing volume of a water fountain. Interconnected with both the circadian rhythm of their natural surroundings as well as the meteorological nuances of seasonal change from autumn to winter – the fixed études alter their density, texture and luminescence over the exhibition time.
