Imbalanced Ambivalence By turning the crank on Imbalanced Ambivalence, you will see a video. It is housed within an antique box – similar to a jewelry box for the fragile video held inside. The video is a vignette of a woman (me) dressing as a nurse. She is seen through peculiar angles captured by a tiny wireless camera. Coupled with the nurse is her patient perpetually asking, when will the nurse be ready to take care? As you turn the crank, you choose the pace at which you want to see the story.
I Rodentia is a collaboration with Daniela Kostova and is a project inspired by the music composition "Albany Rhythms" by Moravec. The video offers an unusual perspective of our capital city seen from an animal's point of view. It is produced with the help of a wireless spy camera attached to the nose of a giant remote control rat. Through the "cyber-rat," the high tech of digital video meets the low tech of analogue machines. Borrowing the aesthetics from early silent films such as Chaplin's "Modern Times," this movie depicts our modern time moving to the circular and sometimes frenetic rhythms in Moravec's work.
Letter is just that, a letter. As a kid, when I held a FisherPrice ViewMaster to my eyes, the small half inch slides became mountain-sized three dimensional worlds that I alone fell into. In Letter, I hoped to capture the same vastness, intimacy and delight I found in the ViewMaster images as a child. Not originally meant as an art piece, I created a letter for a long distance friend. Through experimenting with facial expressions and stereoscopic self portraits, my 3D mail invites playful participation within the intimate world enveloped by a hand held toy.
Inside & Out is an object to be shaken. The ball is shaped and sized like a magic eight ball, a child's toy used for answering questions about the future. The images in this magic ball are memories rather than future predictions. As the video plays on the small embedded screen, you can help write or rewrite the outcomes of the story, perhaps play-acting new decisions that could be made in the future.
