Seas and Skies, Installation Variation IV
The created seascape, of Boston’s sky and circling birds with the crashing Pacific Ocean, shows its artificiality through a shift in scale and perspective. Waves heave past their confines, clouds are cut off and giant birds emerge and then disappear into nowhere. Through this interplay of realism and artificiality, the videos unify the two coasts, blending and contrasting the digital and real environment, and placing viewers in unexpected observational positions.
