Progress in the black box




Today was another grueling day of suspending our machines and fixing problems. the room is starting to come together nicely. I am thinking of shadow projections for my device, perhaps onto another machine dependent on light for activation. All the wring on the device makes some interesting shadows, looks like veins or better yet nervous system strands. The device accentuates the circuit itself, making the essence of what made the turtle dance, come alive. My intentions are to layer the shadow projections with infrared traces of my devices movement, alike the lead movement done before. What is interesting is this detachment from the physical object , evidence or essence of an automonous being. A record of its movement perhaps can reveal a very autonomous object. Take the movement out of context and reintroduce it somewhere else, perhaps an uncanny object.
