The Closest Seven

500+ silicone figures, connected to motors and a physical computer which is coded to create a synchronized motion. 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, mocked in materiality and context. As individuals, we decode the reactions of others to decipher how we should act and the severity of situations.
