Ice Follies 1, Nearly North Media Lab, 2023 A short projection/installation I created based on plants and wildlife in the Nipissing Lake Region of North Bay, Ontario. The video loop is very neon inspired, [so as to become as visible as possible on the frozen lake that was my screen for this projection]. It is 5 mins in length and was presented in split screen view to use as much area as possible within the tent canopy frame.
