Acupuncture for Temporal Fruit Decordova Museum and Sculpture Park Lincoln, Massachusetts |
Robotic and Interactive Installation 1999 |
Acupuncture for Temporal Fruit is comprised of twelve identical units, suspended from the gallery ceiling. Each computer-assisted unit contains a tomato, electric motors, acupuncture needles, and sonar devices. | |
The sonar devices detect your presence at various locations in the gallery. When you trigger the sonar, the electric motors activate the needles which pierce the ripe flesh of the fruit. >> | |
