Link of the Day

Constellations

This art installation by Joanie Lemercier is surprising:

This is a three-dimensional projection onto water, with an electronic track behind it. It's sixteen minutes long, but even in this quick cut, you get a glimpse of what Lemercier is aiming at. It's ethereal and slow, a chance to think about the installation's namesake, and the "beauty of geometry, simple and complex structures of the universe."

You can see more of the installation (including future tour dates) over at Lemercier's website.
