Mark Zirpel workshop

This was a workshop at the University of Miami with Mark Zirpel. Mark is an artist from Seattle whos' work is very conceptualy based. This workshop had a very very strong effect on me, one of those eye openers. A lot of his work is interactive, lots of motion and sound. He even made a series of works that actually died....the piece of art had a lifespan and someday would die. Very cool stuff and a very cool guy, look him up!

the workshop pictures are of a couple projects, one was a sun dial of sorts, just a large clear ball filled with water and used like a magnifying glass and we also made LARGE "message in a bottle" bottles with copper embossed plates inside, the bottles were then dropped in the gulf stream outside the keys.
