Notes:
The artist describes this work as "...a text based work where words that come before and after the word "star" are randomly combined. There are 14 words on a concealed drum on the left side of 'star' and 14 words on the concealed drum on the right side of 'star.' We are only able to view one word on the left and one word on the right at a time through the two viewing window slots on either side. The combination of the generated words are at times funny, profound and ridiculous. The form/structure with the moving drums visible through slots along with the randomly generated words brings to mind a gambling machine that doles out re-mixes of popular culture and existentialism."
This work is from an edition of 7 and 2 AP. The full medium is noted as: acrylic, LED lights, aluminum, Delrin, motors, timing belts and custom electronics.
Accompanying this work is a storage box with the gallery label.
