(fishbowl, canvas banner, oil paint, video camera, carnival trickery, performance)Utilizing the carnival sideshow illusion “Girl in a Fishbowl” as a point of departure, Artists in a Fishbowl is a site-specific installation and performance work. The show-front banner proclaims that what is seen when peering into the fishbowl is Live and Alive. Utilizing arcane carnival trickery and contemporary technology WeSee Inc. allows a peek into what goes on inside the artists’ studio in real time. Submerged within a fishbowl is a sea shell. Within the shell is the miniaturized studio of WeSee Inc. Sometimes dark and quiet but often the lights come on and the miniature underwater studio comes alive with aquatic artistic activity. Often as not, the physicality of creative function is interrupted by pauses for critical thinking; the scratching of tiny heads; tiny coffee breaks; occasional interruptions by tiny aqua-cats; and the various other mundanities that tiny submerged artists do in their daily lives.
