"glasbead (icc) "
1999
John KLIMA





A glittering transparent glass-like object appears on a desktop monitor screen. This may be an artificial life form perhaps, or a simple three-dimensional object. By pointing and clicking on a mouse at beads arranged on intersecting glass tubes, these pastel-colored transparent objects spin around and change their configuration; digital sounds heard through headphones also change. These multicolored glass beads have a strange fascination that evoke feelings of nostalgia. Bright colors become transparent in the light. Fragments of nostalgia are evoked by a cheap, playful feeling. Although a digital game, the natural feeling it releases in us is not to be found in high-priced jewels.
