L’Expédition scintillante, Act I (Weather Score), 2002 
3 boxes, control system producing: snow, rain, fog

Three boxes affixed to the ceiling produce ice shavings, mist or bursts of water in an unidentifiable rhythm. Depending on the temperature in the exhibition space, a pile of snow begins to build and puddles of water to form. The artist programmed the sequence in which water, ice, and fog are emitted based on the weather patterns of the journey undertaken by the fictional character Pym from Edgar Allen Poe's The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym (1838).
