Elina Virdziniece

Installation Immersion is comprised of real-time generated visuals, created by London based artist Elina Virdziniece, it reinterprets the movements of water by visualizing real-time data from a weather station by the Baltic Sea.

Immersion aims to expand the perception of water and invites us to reconsider our relationship with and responsibility towards it. As Astrida Neimanis writes in ‘Bodies of Water’: “If body is something we are, not something we have then that implicates to me that the sea, the ocean, the waters isn’t what we have but also what we are.” The work is an invitation to build intimacy with water, an opportunity to stop and pay attention to it. Water is both subject and medium in the Immersion, it circulates up and flows down the installation, where it combines and travels up again – representing the cycle of water. The projection evolves over time and reacts to the changes in Baltic Sea (real-time observations).
