In this video, Fujiko Nakaya talks about how she experienced the opening of her exhibition Veil at The Glass House; her transformation from drawing to video to fog artist, and why she uses fog as artistic medium; the technical challenges of creating artifial fog and early experiments with it; the collaboration with cloud physicist Tom Mee; why she prefers pure water fog over chemical fog; her relationship with legendary artist collaborative E.A.T. Experiments in Art and Technology; her friendship with Robert Rauschenberg; how she experienced the Glass House and the dynamics of the air around it, and how she developed Veil for Philip Johnson's iconic structure.
