Eureka!

Wellington 2012

Amy Miller and Dan Cruden

Archimedes famously made his discovery of displacement whilst taking a bath. He realised that his body mass was equal to the amount of water that rose and spilled over the edge when he submerged his body. Excited about his find, the scientist yelled out ‘Eureka!’ and ran naked through streets of Syracuse. The artists explore this phenomenon by creating a relationship between the ocean, a diving board, the public, and an overflowing bath. Displacement becomes a simple game of cause and effect within the loop of activities that this work encourages between bath and the ocean...

Amy Miller and Daniel Cruden met and studied together at Massey University. They graduated in 2010 with a Bachelor of Design majoring in Spatial Design. Since graduating they both work in the film industry, Amy works in the Art Department and Dan is in Costume. Their installation work focusses on creating moments of performance within simple routines and architectures, framing the unwitting public as performer.
