Olafur Eliasson's "Your Strange certainly still kept" (1996) described
in MOCA's press release for the show Ecstasy:
"... an environmental installation using large droplets of water and
strobe lights to create a photographic effect that disassociates the
visitor from her/his physical surroundings."
I saw it there and it was pretty amazing.
Best,
