(Re)defining Borders No3  electronic installation, Dmitry Strakovsky

To enjoy Dmitry Strakovsky’s electronic installation called "(Re)defining Borders No.3", the only thing you need to do is stand in front of it.  The piece creates wind patterns of simple geometrical figures and explores alternatives to watching static art work hung on the wall.  Close your eyes in front of the cool installation and focus on the whispering of wind.  You may pass through the scene of "The Gleaners" (1857) by Jean-Francois Millet.   by Byeong Sam Jeon
