Flow ( Art Video)

"Flow" is a mesmerising video art piece that captures the serene, rhythmic movement of water flowing in a river, recorded from above on a bridge. The image is mirrored, creating a symmetrical and hypnotic visual effect that draws the viewer into a state of contemplation. At the centre of the video, a circle is placed, acting as a focal point, while the gentle sound of a bell adds a layer of tranquillity, enhancing the meditative quality of the piece. Designed to be played on a continuous loop and projected onto a large screen in a darkened room, "Flow" invites viewers to immerse themselves in its calming atmosphere. However, the artwork also serves as a commentary on the nature of spiritual states. By manipulating the environment and sensory inputs, "Flow" mimics the sensations of a 'spiritual state', challenging the notion of its authenticity. It suggests that such states can be artificially created and questions the distinction between true spiritual experiences and those manufactured by human intervention.
