Look at Me Grooving, 2024
Kinetic installation, mixed media, programming, control system

''Watch me dance, watch me perform; I become the ball, or the ballon me becomes myself. I soar over crowds or dance alone, whetherbathed in light or hidden in shadowed corners. I may not be your favorite dancer, but I persist in my movement. I dance until I am worn, dance until I break apart, dance until my batteries deplete, dance until I turn to dust.'' Parts of the body closest to a ''sphere'' or directly named ''balls'' such as eyeballs, breasts, and testicles, are chosen and crafted into a mechanical installation, rolling randomly in space along a predetermined path. Originally individual dancers (athletes) now form a harmonious whole—this can be seen as the perfect linkage on stage or sports field, or from a micro perspective, imagining how independent units constitute a collective body.
