《Water Canvas》
Taro Suzuki (Japan)
A bubble-making machine creates geometric patterns, Water Canvas is a work flavored with oriental appeal.
Taro Suzuki precisely calculates the water flows with a digital-mechanical device to blow bubbles that array in
particular positions and form a transparent screen. The crystal nature of water carries out an ambiance of Zen.
In an age when everything is largely shaped by technology, the artist is still pursuing the irreplaceable aesthetic
experience with ever updated technology.
