Ludwig Desmet - Water as topic, water as tool

We try to capture nature in a number of mathematical algorithms, but we will never ever manage to capture nature as it really IS; always changing and adapting, within endless variations, world wide...

Hopeless... Knowing the reality in order to produce a so-called all-encompassing image with tens of processors and weeks of computer calculations, it is refreshing to realize that we will never be able to copy nature.

So even with this idea as a starting point, it seems logical that this is an impossible quest. The next step is accepting the non-perfection by producing computer-generated images of the elements that play the leading roles in the (Ant)Arctic: water, ice, mist, ... And light, of course, source of all life.

The computer-generated images are projected on a curtain of flowing water. The viewer is confronted with amazing impressions of this precious element in all its forms. An abstract and yet tangible presentation of the constantly changing circumstances in Arctica and Antarctica. Just like water becomes ice and vapour liquid.

WHALES ARE HERE TO STAY! THEY LOVE THE ARTIC REGIONS BUT WITHOUT THE CLEAN WATERS OF THE ARCTIC AND THE ANTARCTIC WE MAY LOOSE THEM FOREVER!
