- | An inflatable tube made from transparent plastic, 250 metres long and 3 metres in diameter, was placed over the Masch lake connecting its opposite banks. This air-filled floating bridge had airlock revolving doors at each end, and its pliable floor was in direct contact with the water surface. Visitors were able to enter this almost immaterial structure and cross from one side of the lake to the other as if walking on water. In Groningen the tube was placed in a U-shape in the harbor in the front of the Central station (where the new Groningen Museum is now located).\\ | ||

+ | While the inflatable structure was being gradually inflated, film, slides and liquid-light show effects were projected onto its surface. Its fully inflated shape was a 7m diameter and 10m high cone with an outer transparent membrane and an inner white surface. The projected imagery first impinged lightly on the outer envelope and then appeared on the semi-inflated inner surface; in the intermediate space various material actions were performed.\\ | ||

+ | The event took place at the Experimental Film Festival of Knokke Le Zoute (Belgium) so was in all its literal flexibility and spatial dynamics a comment on the fixity of regular cinema experiments that tend to remain within the frame of the standard projection equipment. So it confronted the audience mostly made up of cinema people with their imprisonment within the cinema screen. There was life electronic music done by the group Musica Elettronica Viva at that time based in Rome with among others Fredric Rezewsky and Richard Teitelbaum. The visual content is also important to mention in more detail, as a selection of advertisement and governmental propaganda movies were projected, from an anti-communist comic by the American John Birch Society to USA government movies showing the air war over Vietnam. This last visual statement was misunderstood by some members of the audience as far as I remember belonging to Marxist-Leninist student opposition from West-Berlin. There were shouts against American imperialism from the audience ... Last year this event was commemorated at the Rotterdam Film Festival and I made a ' | ||

Keeping in mind the insignificance of humanity, as I shrink ever smaller, it may be possible to confirm my existence in the universe on an electronic level. Or this work may simply serve as a space to meditate. The heartbeat is the very first rhythm humans feel. I believe all music has the heartbeat as its source. The moment that human beings connect to the heartbeat that flows within us, the music that we hear starts to sound right.” | + | “I can feel like an individual in the midst of humanity, through the image of something internal such as a cell, an atom, or a fetus.

In Waterquake long lengths of tubing were dropped into a canal and then slowly inflated with air and smoke. The tubing emerged from the water, filling the canal and then spilling over into the surrounding streets. The spectators pulled and knotted these tubes into various forms - when they broke holes in the plastic skin the smoke inside was released.\\ | In Waterquake long lengths of tubing were dropped into a canal and then slowly inflated with air and smoke.
