![]() ![]() ![]() I wanted these to mirror our daily cause and effect experiences. The work has a complex cause and effect structure, and a touch that the viewer makes might have an immediate visual response, happen a short time later, or much later. In any case, a turn is taken in the labyrinth. When a viewer touches any of the fingerprints, various things can happen: there are always sound responses to these touches, usually speech the video can change to another location in the world, or an animated text might be evoked. On this touch screen are fingerprints, placed above the fingertips of the larger hand within the book. In a cut out in the center of the cover is embedded a transparent touch screen, which appears to be the glass "cover" of the book. One is a large, hollow handmade book (13"x 15"x 6") in which are encased replicas of human hands. ![]() There are two sculpture/interface objects through which a viewer can interact with the work. The viewer's ability to interact and direct the flow of images and sounds allows him or her to "play" the piece, to seek or escape from finding a destination, or to enjoy its labyrinthine paths. The work responds to the form of the viewer/participant's engagement. ![]() "The Surprising Spiral" is an interactive artwork, utilizing a computer controlled videodisc, computer graphics, digitized sounds and texts, and synthesized voices, embedded within sculptures.
