Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson, who dyed streams green to track the flow of water for his Green River Project (1998-99), will give a talk on campus Sept. 19 titled 'On the Relativity of Reality.' Eliasson, who was born in Copenhagen and lives in Berlin, is known for combining elements of architecture, design and science to explore such natural phenomena as light and water. He encourages viewers to reflect upon their perception of the physical world and on the act of 'seeing yourself sensing.' The Department of Architecture lecture will take place at 6:30 p.m. in Room 10-250. Photo / Green River, Moss, Norway, 1999 by Olafur Eliasson
