EXPERIMENTAL MEDIA
Doug Aitken is a Californian artist who works in a wide range of different disciplines such as photography, multi-channel video and sculpture. His 2016 site-specific instillation Underwater Pavilions really caught my eye. Moored to the ocean floor at varying depths off the coast of Catalina Island, California, this temporary instillation features three geometrically designed sculptures made from an environmentally friendly, reflective material that divers and snorkelers can swim through, presenting them with a kaleidoscopic view of the ocean. The organic flow of the ocean currents and the life within ensure that no two viewings of this instillation will be the same as the sculptures are constantly in motion. I’m really drawn towards the feel of this kind of organic flow, as opposed to the rigid, static view point that modern technology often presents us with, and would like to incorporate it into my project somehow.
