Contact is an Interactive, web-based Sculpture that
can be operated through Internet.
While accessing
the site the arm turns toward the region where the
IP address is detected and both places became
connected. The participant could control the arm and
select some movements related with different
attitudes. Example, a lower arm is looking for human
contact; a raised arm is like searching the outer
space looking for aliens. The real public visiting
the place interact with the website visitors. This
sculpture is part of a program called Global
Connections whose mission is: “Bringing communities
closer through Arts, Science and Technology”.
ENVIRONMENT: All the materials used (aluminum,
copper and stainless steel are environmentally
friendly (all recyclable) and low maintenance. The
