ARTIST: Shelly Farnham

TITLE: Electric Scrying Pool

artist's conceptual sketch for the piece

MATERIALS: Resin, acrylic, water, projector.

DIMENSIONS: 10' x 10', freestanding

DATE: 2007

DESCRIPTION: Ask the scrying pool what is your future, see how yours melds with those around you. The scrying pool randomly selects and mixes oracle messages, emerging from words projected onto a pool with clear resin oracle heads.

STATEMENT: I am one third artist, one third technologist, and one third psychologist. These three areas of interest have recently gelled into a series of projects that seek to explore through technology the human inclination to read personal meaning into randomly generated ambiguous statements -- otherwise known as "magical thinking" . The Scrying Pool is the latest in this series of projects. You may learn more about my art and my career with social technology at my website.
