P009 → The Kiss, 2023


Glass, printer mechanic, arduino, wood
110 x 95 cm




The Kiss features two glass heads suspended from an electronically mechanised track, designed to move them toward and away from each other. Giving one another a “kiss”. As they repeatedly bump into each other, they generate a sharp sound. Each collision increases the risk of breaking, eventually leading to destruction.
