Bas Jan Ader

Dutch/Californian artist Bas Jan Ader was last seen in 1975 when he took off in what would have been the smallest sailboat ever to cross the Atlantic. He left behind a small oeuvre, often using gravity as a medium, which more than 30 years after his disappearance at sea is more influential than ever before.

Teamed with Folkert Gorter, Rene Daalder and Aaron Ohlmann, we took this artist's work and, for the first time ever, show cased every single one of his gravity art films.

This project relied heavily on the visual experience of full screen video loops in the background, with overlaying html content in the foreground. This created a unique experience for the users to view each of the films presented on the site.
