projections virtually expose impending doom feared from erratic global weather conditions. I use the architecture of the Museum
space to highlight the unpredictable and challenge convictions that the ground beneath our feet is stable, exposing
weather as a fickle Master presiding over whether or not. Viewers can experience water bleeding, bursting through
seams from moldings in the space, as the Master of Havoc rules from inside the belly of the unknown. The interior window projects
portraits-in-motion of alternating weather conditions through and to the inside out.
Short biography of Nina Yankowitz
The projects of New York City based artist Nina Yankowitz use
interactive technology and video projections to challenge assumptions about perceived realities. Environmental concerns led
her to create CloudHouse, installed at Saatchi & Saatchi, NYC and Vortex Filter, a projection of water spinning as if
a monumental underwater fan with a mesh membrane cleans and recycles debris.
Yankowitz continues to collaborate in making
interactive installations with global art/science teams she met from participating in the e-MobiLArt program.
