This is a 35 MM SLIDE PHOTO from LA Artist, Musician STEVE THOMSEN of one of his SNOW GLOBES -
THIS features a SANTA CLAUSE Riding SHARK
A snow globe (also called a waterglobe, snowstorm, or snowdome) is a transparent sphere, traditionally made of glass, enclosing a miniaturized scene of some sort, often together with a model of a town, neighborhood, landscape or figure.
The sphere also encloses the water in the globe; the water serves as the medium through which the "snow" falls.
To activate the snow, the globe is shaken to churn up the white particles.
The globe is then placed back in its position and the flakes fall down slowly through the water.
Snow globes sometimes have a built-in music box that plays a song.
Some snow globes have a design around the outerbase for decoration.
Snow globes are often used as a collectible item.
ABOUT STEVE THOMSEN and his ART Projects:
Notable endeavors included site-specific installations and modifications within the Disneyland theme park.
The collective would alter the park's attractions by leaving battery-powered cassette decks playing soundtracks and recordings they had created.
They also affixed incongruous items to the scenery within rides and removed and cataloged "liberated" park elements as artifact-like art pieces.
MORE ABOUT STEVE THOMSEN and his MUSIC Projects:
For the past 35 years Steve Thomsen has been active at the heart of the west-coast avant-garde art and sound-art scenes.
Thomsen first gained the public’s and critics’ attention within the underground art community of Los Angeles in the late 1970s when he co-founded World Imitation, an art collective which sought to respond in new and expressive ways to the three-way collision of visual and sonic art, physics and contemporary American mass-consumerist culture.
In the process Thomsen helped to form Monitor, one of the Los Angeles area’s most uncompromisingly experimental and influential art/music bands of the late ’70s and early ’80s.
Monitor left behind a collection of unique recordings that might be called Punk Exotica or Melodramatic Parlor Music.
