+ these paintings are a performance based on the relationship between computer algorithms and the movement of the paint on canvas. chan takes real-time data from google's weather feed to put into a computer program that translates this meteorological data into audio and visual formats. the weather conditions are colour coded and set to an ambient sound, resulting in an installation of canvases that can be taken as aesthetically exciting weather maps set to a soothing, yet ever-changing soundtrack. his paintings can be seen now thru august 1 at the ottawa art gallery in his exibition called "intersections."
