Viewing Juan Carlos Delgado's work, I saw a new way of multimedia. A way that the art is physically manipulated by outside factors. Juan Carlos uses the cold to manipulate the way that his artwork is perceived. He sculpts a piece of artwork and then uses a freezer to freeze the humidity in the room to cause ice to grow around his artwork, encasing it inside a frozen layer of ice. The way the artwork is made is so delicate, because it is relying on so many factors in order for it to stay pristine. You would have to rely on the refrigerator to keep working, and the electricity to stay on. If any of these factors fail to work the artwork is distorted and will never be the same again. This is an example of multimedia because there are so many factors contributing to the way that his artwork is made. Its also a live piece of artwork, that is not 2-D, it is 4-D in the way that it is shaped and made.
