Jan Tichy's multimedia installations draw upon the ephemeral. The Czech-Israeli artist, now living in Chicago, refers to natural phenomena presented within a digital photographic domain. In Tichy's "Tubes" (2006), a TV monitor 'plays' the white noise of itself while projecting onto a landscape of tubes within a closed environment, yielding an installation that is at once transitory and concrete. With shadow and light assuming equal roles, this sensory environment is hauntingly beautiful and ominous in its measured play.
