Smoke and Hot Air

2008
mixed media w/ electromechanical components, custom software and smoke


A collaboration with Ali Momeni. Smoke rings are rhythmically generated in response to spoken text, specifically Google news headlines containing the phrase "attack Iran." The first video here represents documentation of a working prototype, and the second shows the full installation. It has been exhibited in Ghent, Belgium at the Almost Cinema Festival 2008; in Gijon, Spain at the Laboral Centro de Arte y Creacion Industrial in 2009; and in Jerusalem, Israel as part of the 2012 MusraraMix Festival. In November 2019 it is slated for exhibition at the Yarat Art Centre in Baku, Azerbaijan.
