The Fluid Studies are experiments, which combine dynamically generated animations and hand glazed, sandblasted glass. These works create a tension between the unmoving elements of the glass, and the ever-changing animations. With these pieces, Utterback simultaneously exploits the subtlety of our depth perception (usually ignored by screen interfaces), and frustrates it – by obscuring certain areas of the screen with the sandblasting. Here Utterback again draws attention to the richness of our senses, often left wanting in the relationship with our digital devices.
