Finally! I feel like I've been hearing about this forever! Would love to see it on a better system than my mac though.

Excellent work - as always.

Finally got it to play!

What was the banging for? I didn't remember that when you told me about it...

Hey! first comment. Thanks man. Anyway, I took a 12 x 9 x 3 cooking dish and filled it half full of water. I placed that in my freezer for several hours. I then took the printed poem and glued it on a sheet of metal to give it some weight so when I filled the rest of the dish up the paper wouldn't float to the top. This was kept in my freezer overnight to create a nice block of ice. After taking the block out of the dish, I put it vertically in a tupperware tub filled with dry ice. The dry ice served as a tool to create a heat gradient over the ice. My initial thought was to create a temporal poem that slowly melted from the top down so as time passed, each line of the poem would be revealed. Unfortunately my freezer isn't cold enough to freeze the water to degree I wanted, to create the white ice effect I was going for.

This is actually a small study for a larger piece I want to create using a Massive block of ice in a warehouse with heat elements embedded into the ice to create a controlled melt. The elements would be triggered by motion sensors as people enter the room. After a certain amount of people enter the room, more heat elements would triggered to begin revealing a metal etched poem entombed inside.

Ironic, no? Frosting Frost... How'd you do this by the way?
