DESCRIPTION:http://www.daytonartinstitute.org/event/art/exhibitions/current
 -exhibitions/antarctic-sublime-elements-nature-water\n\nCool off at your D
 ayton Art Institute! Our summer suite of exhibitions features three instal
 lations\, highlighting the many forms of the classical element water: froz
 en across the expansive and rocky terrain of the Perito Moreno glacier in 
 Argentina\; implied in a colony of 450 mechanized\, interactive penguins\;
  and free-flowing in a 10-foot-tall digital waterfall!\n<strong><em>Elemen
 ts of Nature: Water</em></strong>\nThe second part of our summer exhibitio
 ns\,<em>Elements of Nature: Water</em>\, &nbsp\;presents a&nbsp\;10-foot v
 ideo projection of a waterfall (pictured at left) by the Japanese ultra-te
 chnologist group\, teamLab\, titled&nbsp\;<em>Universe of Water Particles<
 /em>. Informed by the tradition of ancient Japanese Art\,&nbsp\;<em>ukiyo-
 e</em>&nbsp\;woodblock prints\, and contemporary forms of anime\, the Univ
 erse of Water Particles demonstrates teamLab&rsquo\;s keen interest in the
  transcendental qualities of water and the combination of both two and thr
 ee-dimensional space in digital form. Exhibited alongside selections of Th
 e Dayton Art Institute&rsquo\;s strong collection of Edo period&nbsp\;<em>
 ukiyo-e</em>&nbsp\;woodblock prints\, visitors will see a source of great 
 influence alongside the morphing beauty of the immersive waterfall and be 
 able to explore the associated pioneering and intellectual concepts of the
 se technologists at work\, as well as the mesmerizing innovative capabilit
 ies at play.\n<a title="Water in Japanese Art" href="http://www.daytonarti

 >Related Focus Exhibition:&nbsp\;<em>Water in Japanese Art</em></a>\n<em>E
 lements of Nature: Water&nbsp\;</em>also features&nbsp\;a single\, monumen
 tal photograph by Berlin-based artist Frank Thiel of the Perito Moreno gla
 cier. Thiel created large-format images to capture the immense scale of th
 e 18-mile-long by three-mile-wide formation - located in the Los Glaciares
  National Park in Patagonia\, Argentina - which is one of the few glaciers
  in the world that is growing. Thiel&rsquo\;s large-scale photograph recal
 ls the sublime landscapes painted by members of the Hudson River School\, 
 which frequently represented the powerful drama and overwhelming scale of 
 nature and human&rsquo\;s small place within that terrain. Similarly\, the
  monumentality of Thiel&rsquo\;s photograph places the viewer in a related
  context and invites them to question the transient nature of what is arou
 nd them\, while also providing the opportunity to discuss the fragility of
  man in the face of nature&rsquo\;s awesome might and simultaneously empha
 sizing man&rsquo\;s hubris and determination.\n\nMuseum Members: Free\nAdu
