Sand fantasy

This is an interesting art form.  On a platform like YouTube, the artist could be edited out, and the result would be just another form of animation.  With the artist left in, it’s performance art, and there are all these little moments of “what’s that… wait… oh, now I see”.  The viewer is not exactly part of the art, but the artist’s performance elicits a parallel process in the viewer’s brain.  The viewer’s discovery follows the artist’s creation.  I’d like to see a live performance, with the images projected on a large screen in front of an audience.
