Reactive Movement

The monster is starting to make an appearance. I have concentrated on this idea of the uncanny Freud was talking about, and in artists like Mike Kelly. The idea i am going with so far for my monster is as follows: a device which reacts to surrounding movement, reacting with movement that causes a chain of random events that may or may not activate other devices. I have taken what is left over from the turtle device, hung it upside down and attached a tilt switch, more to come, to the arm. The idea is that a tilt switch will activate, and hopefully by Tuesday reverse the motor direction of the hand device. I imagine device 1 ( the turtle) hanging from a suspended cable, and moves along its length. The device has exaggerated proportions, through extension in wire, to which tilt switches will be installed. These tilt switches are to be connected to other motors on device 1 and device 2. The battery packs of both devices will also be suspended, and dragged along as device 1 moves. Device two will remain on the floor. I envision a dismemberment of an Automata, where the brain is being dragged along by one element and a detached isolated body part activated by random by audience or device 1. The uncanny relationship between these two hopefully expressed through a random indirect response . Video to follow.
