Clar uses a high definition camera that is locked onto a constantly shaken snowglobe of a city. The live image is sent to a connected television, displaying a generative animation of the city in a snowstorm. By zooming in on a small area of the snowglobe and increasing its size significantly on the screen, Clar makes the city appear like a cartoon or computer animation. However, the tiny snowflakes moving around the snowglobe obey the laws of physics and gravity, creating a simulated, hybrid reality between the virtual and the real.
