MELT
Enter a dynamic world of immersive sound, living hieroglyphs and dripping ice. In MELT, artist Jamie Jewett creates an interactive world dynamically inhabited by dancers wearing tiny wireless video cameras and infrared sensors that control spectacular mixing of live video with original footage of glaciers, ice caves and the cycle of water. In this large-scale installation of hundreds of pounds of ice, LOSTWAX explores the encounter between Tibetan Buddhist iconography and hi-tech performance technology.
