Invasion is a kinetic sculpture that is a contemplation of geopolitical border. As you enter the exhibition space, the first thing you see are the pots with red sands in it on the floor. Out of the pots come red threads, all going through an opening on a thick wall. In the opening, you see […]
Negativity is like a drop of black ink falling into a glass of clear water. You feel it falling. You hear the subtle microsplash. You can see it forming a cloud. You become aware of the cloud, and try to run away from it. Eventually, however, as dry as you are, that drop of blank […]
(Re)Collection of Togetherness – stage 4 was shown as part of the Jakarta Biennial in 2009. The preparation was done in parallel to Lure and the Bus Gallery version of Terra Incognita, et cetera. I couldn’t go out of Australia because of my permanent residency visa requirements, so I had to learn to delegate. I […]

Last Monday I checked out O’Sullivan and Igoe’s Physical Computing from the library and started reading it earlier today. It’s putting my scattered mind into place. Now I know that toy 1 has digital I/O (input/output) and serial events, toy 2 has digital I/O and parallel events, and toy 3 has analog I/O and serial […]
