This
4 minute video work combines video projection with crude electro-magnetic
mechanics and heightened audio. A nodding dog, normally animated by
the movement of a car, is now animated by switches controlling 4 electrically
powered magnets. The control board with the switches is amplified with
a contact microphone so that each pressed switch is audible. I attempt
to nod the dog’s head in synch with the car’s movement projected on the wall behind the nodding machine.
