2017
'Sincerely comma' was motivated by my VISA application process in early 2017.

In the installation work, it changes its environment depending on the participant and the participant's physical position in the space. There are eight microphones placed inside and outside of the space and linked to the system which I’ve created. It is physically impossible to take every position in space. One has to move around and participate or observe what's causing and what is happening to the objects around them. The goal of this project is to elaborate the meaning of taking a position; after all, doing so alters the experience. Unlike a Rube Goldberg reaction, I am creating a network, or web, rather than a chain.
