micro thinking.

Charles & Ray Eames were an amazing couple (humanist archi-designers ?)... i saw that short film of Charles E., with just the water and bubbles from washing a concrete floor (like a buble ballet), from different angles, at different speeds, creating several textures. The movie was projected on the floor for an exhibition (cooper-hewitt museum), it was very nice (no sound from what i recall). very micro°relevant from my point of view...

the interesting thing about this particular piece in the exhibit is that the eames' always intended it to be shown on the wall. which creates a far more interesting effect and disassociation from its physical reality (being a school blacktop)

i dont know why the curators projected it onto the floor.. i thought
it really ruined the impact of it.

i actually remember seeing it in elementary school in the mid 70s..
and i loved it then too...but then i was a weird kid

all the eames films are available on VHS
