You demand too much of me...


A work in progress on a time-based / sensor sculpture. ' You demand too much of me... ' is a visual metaphor for my period of burnout in the past.
The sculpture reacts to avatars near it, the larger the number of avatars, the more parts disappear from the overall sculpture each cycle - until it disappears completely.
When no one is in its 'personal space' ( well 8m sensor zone ) - it slowly repairs itselfs, though only one bit at a time. Healing takes longer than destroying...

The sculpture could also be interpreted as an eco-system of sorts, sustainability of resources, or even an ode to lag.

Anywho - if you want a peek its at The Port - in the Pencil Factory....

I love the idea of this work. I'll also try to find the caves if I get a chance.
