Three Duster Dancers

Kinetic video installation consists of the suspended three dusters with video cameras, electric motors and propellers. They spin and fly in unpredictable way, sometimes in unison. Audience sees their dance and the vision from them through three video monitors on the floor. The generated video image is a modulated environment that audiences exist.




Two Snails and One Pig

Kinetic video/sound installation; two snail robots follow 2 same black line drawings on the floor. One snail has a wireless microphone. Another has a wireless camera. The radio on the side of a drawing receives the signal from microphone and also the TV monitor receives the signal from camera. As a result, radio makes a feedback sound melody follows the natural overtone and TV generates abstract video image. Sound and image are equivalent for the drawing. And 1 pig behaves sarcastically on the wall.
