"Profit in War"
This work removes the interactive aspect of the installation to an unseen audience.
An egg with a two-pence-piece glued to it is held by a magnet above a globe. The egg can only be dropped if someone visits a website with live camera feed and clicks a big red button.
People in the exhibition space were passive and unable to interact with the work, and instead called home to ask someone who was online to interact with artwork.
The work suggests how difficult it is to apportion blame in modern warfare when it is simply a case of pressing a button.
Materials used: Globe, Eggs, Magnet, Coins, Plinth, Webcamera, Computer, Software, IO Device, Relays, Internet, Website.
Exhibited at Kingston University 2nd Year Interim Show.
