Pass the Funk
1 year ago
This work -- an older piece-- was designed within the Japanese concept of the karakuri. A karakuri is traditionally a puppet or automata, designed to trick or tease an audience. Their surprising nature is meant to imply a degree of mystery and even magic. In Pass the Funk, my collaborator and I, inhabiting each one television, pass unseen energy back and forth using the medium of dance (or funk, if you please), switching simple, incandescent light bulbs on and off at each loop. Our goal is to make the audience think they can predict the outcomes of our movement, only to spring various tricks on them in an evolving loop of events that occur within, between and beyond the screens.
