Wave spotting is a project Blom started working on during her stay at Listhús Art Residency in Olafsfjördúr, Iceland, 2013.
Locals and other artists in residence partook in the filming for the event Blom hosted, called "Jons messunott". She invited people of Olafsfjördur to roll down the local ski slope at midnight on midsummers eve. This was inspired by the local icelandic saying: if you roll naked in dew at midnight on midsummers eve you will have good luck and fortune a year ahead from now.
The film has previously been screened in Ncad, Ireland and at the artexpo BORDERLAND in Club Nautico in Zaragosa, Spain 2013.
