Juan Carlos Delgado's multimedia design

Without considering the instillation, created by Juan Carlos Delgado, as a whole, it wouldn't be considered multimedia. Delgado would have just created a superb bust of a girl, a statue of giving hands, and some metal bars. However, Delgado did not stop there, he decided to connect a refrigerator to both the bust and the bars. In this way he connected the two pieces. Another important factor that Delgado added was a gas flame in the middle of the hand statue. This constant change created by the gas flame and the buildup of ice crystals on the bust and bars is what made this instillation as a whole multimedia. The element of fire and also the formation and melting of ice crystals put the piece into a constant cycle of change. The bust especially began to grow and become a new piece of art with the addition of the ice crystals. While it still kept it's initial shape, the busts features began to change every time the ice would build up and/or melt. It is this constant changing that gives Delgado's instillation the title of multimedia. The piece is never exactly the same from moment to moment, it is more like a living work of art. Delgado's decision to add refrigeration and fire made the instillation much more intriguing. The ice crystals seem to connect the beauty of the natural world with that of man-made art.
