video "Slinkies", 2005
Slinky, motors, various electronis
 
   

Multiple Slinkies are hung from supports bars. At the bottom of each Slinky there is a motor with a counter weight. A pattern is formed as different Slinkies vibrate - the pattern is clearly understood through the sound created. The sound is a combination of the traditional Slinky vibration and the tapping motors on the floor. The effect is subtle and light with an occasional interruption by abrupt motor taps. Viewers are invited to interact and play with the slinkies.
