制作物のコンセプトを記載してください。
Everything in my work centres around guidance and our susceptibility to be led. Taking the mentality of a crowd as my point of departure, my work calls for an awareness of our complacent tendency to follow others, becoming ontological refugees, distanced from individual thought. My work is one of disclosure, using life events where I was susceptible to being led. This point of guidance spurs both physical kinetic sculptures, depicting crowds, VR simulations of being in a crowd, or orchestrated performance pieces. Ironically, I was creating a body of work focused on guidance when a worldwide controlled response to a pandemic occurred. Coronavirus rerooted parts of my practice, with new restrictions placing a form of control on performances that were intended to organically unfold.

I made this stimulation to play out the real-time events of what the world now is, and how we adapt as societies of this age. How, even though existing in a contactless society, never touching, we still completely feed off and react to those around us. Though we cannot touch we live in a society with technology today we have the opportunity to guide those around us, people have a tendency to follow others, this piece calls for an awareness of our susceptibility to being led, an awareness of the beauty and horror that can bring.
It is made from 500+ silicone figures, which I sculpted moulded and cast. Each one is connected to motors and a physical computer which is coded to create a synchronized motion. I used an Arduino computer and coded the motion of the motors to represent the motion of today's society. When one bows, the closest one to them bows and then so on in a ripple effect. What they are paying homage to is deliberately left unclear. The humanlike silicone creates a creepy, mischievous depiction of society and our human frailties. As individuals, we decode the reactions of others to decipher how we should act and the severity of situations. They exist on an undulating gridded steel form, 3m x 4m wide, standing at a regimented distance apart, representing how the world exists today. -
