Art Installation: Masturbatory Interactant

http://www.delappe.net Computer controlled, kinetic video installation which explores machine automated erotic interaction. The intent of this piece is to create a machine masturbatory interactive experience in part inspired Marcel Duchamp's, "The Bride Stripped Bare by Her Bachelors, Even". The fan propelled, vinyl enclosed female party sex doll acts as the projection surface for time based imagery, the source of which is the second part of the installation, a kinetic sculpture consisting of an LCD video projector, a Macintosh CPU, a laser bar code scanner and a rotating "grinder" mechanism based on the "Chocolate Grinder" from Marcel Duchamp's "Large Glass". The imagery for projection, quick segments of a nude male figure conducting self erotic actions, are randomly controlled by the laser bar code scanner attached to a mechanical arm which extends and retracts, occasionally scanning preprogrammed bar codes which cover the constantly rotating grinders. The piece is intended to create a sensory environment for the examination of power, interaction, control, male sexuality and machine fantasy.

I've never seen a piece with so much aimless metaphor in my life. I'd like to interact with it with a baseball bat.

I dunno. If you think you have some insight into society, why not do some research and make an argument for it? It's too easy to assemble these aesthetic pieces without any grounding in reality.

E.g., I could make a "piece" in which visitors are invited to smash old, brittle electronics with a huge rigid salami. This would mean roughly the opposite of the thing in the video, and neither's mere existence has any particular bearing on the truth value of that meaning.

Very interesting work. "Projecting desires", in the literal sense- who knows what Duchamp would think, I think it's great!

[stenchinator]

The rating is rather low for such an interesting piece of art, which may be more of a commentary on users than the video.

[UncleBym]

Inspired! The depth of meaning depends upon the subjective thoughts of the viewer in colaboration with the video and again with the clockwork.

wow... that's actually a really cool art concept... too bad these porn bots will never appreciate it
