A large screen was stretched floor to
ceiling under a curved balcony. Projected liquid streams
filled the screen from both sides forming a waterfall off
the edge of the balcony. Viewers cast shadows, effected
the speed and color of the image and soundtrack as they
passed by sensors in the gallery. I came across an
incredible optical illusion that occurred after the
falling water was stopped by a viewer walking passed one
of the sensors, the stopped image would appear to move
mysteriously upward.
