| This is the second piece in a series of remotely controlled "toys." The viewer is invited to operate a chromed "joystick" extending from a box in the centre of the room. By doing so, he or she controls the movements of a tiny plastic toy elephant, which can be seen and heard in the form of live video projected onto the back wall of the room. Photographs: video stills from the installation at the Evanston Art Center, 2000. Operator: Shannon Wright |
