HOOKUP
Interactive sculpture, Silo City, Buffalo, 2018 - 2019
Seven swings tethered to one another form one long inter-connected swing. Directly linking the experience of individuals to one-another, ‘Hookup’ speaks of relationships and demands communication, negotiation and trust from its users. The swings act as a familiar prompt to make the work accessible while the unusual arrangement challenges preconceptions of how they might be used or the audience they may be intended for. The result is a space of play that liberates participants and offers a social experience.
