What is it?
This artwork shows water views, changing periodically in a generative playlist of its own making. It is formed of reclaimed LED matrix panels of a type used for large electronic signage, such as in large indoor video walls or electronic billboards. They are installed flush in a diagonal enclosure of aluminum extrusion.
The video clips shown were captured by the artist over ten years of filming; there are around 150 clips of water, mainly from locations throughout the United States.
Statement
In “S(p)lash,” I wondered: what would it be like to see a beautiful scene, but only through a narrow aperture? Its diagonal form, a slash, offers you a tantalizing peek of 150 different clips of water that I have filmed over ten years; just a slice, a splash, of waters we are unable to enter.
