Shock Sculpture

Performance Studies, Interactive Telecommunications Program, NYU Inc 1991

Project Description: I worked with a team to build a sculpture that would also serve as an evolving hypertext document about Italian Futurist theory.� The sculpture was built from wooden balls for nodes and metal rods for connections.� Each node had a bar code which, when scanned, would trigger the appropriate text on a computer screen.� In addition there was a bin of nodes and rods for a user to add to the sculpture.� They could write a comment, print a bar code and add it to the sculpture.

I collaborated with Kate Swann (future wife) and Steve Marino.

Technical Notes:� I wrote this in HyperCard with a serial XCMD to connect to the bar code scanner.
