In Artificial Dew, The Machine’s Morning Creation, industrially produced monochrome paintings on aluminium are covered with natural dew and frost. Even this magical natural condition, which is choreographed by the artist using freezer compressors holding the surfaces below freezing point, becomes an artificial condition. By making visible the physical form of humidity in the space, these artificial dew-scapes are a machine’s exploration of the transitory and infinitely transformative nature of our environments.
