Description

The work uses remote visual sensing techniques to track the viewer. The position of the viewer in front of the image controls the activity of the figures across the bottom of the screens. The viewers actions also control their ability to talk, as synthetic grammars are used to make the figures speak. The angels themselves are not interactive, but indifferently fly above the viewers and the talking figures. Exhibited at the Living Room, Whitechapel, London (source: http://www.littlepig.org.uk/)
