Drafting

A project by David K. Ross, commissioned by the Musée des beaux-arts de Sherbrooke for the exhibition Insertion. Contamination. Dispersion.

Drafting is a site-specific video installation that references and represents the mechanics of conditioned, moving air inside the Musée des beaux-arts de Sherbrooke. The video was both made and is displayed within the typically "off-limits" air conditioning control centre that monitors air circulation systems inside the Musée. The looped video depicts the pages of the institution's own architectural HVAC drawings apparently being moved by air currents activated through the same mechanical systems which the drawings themselves depict.
