Video, 2011
The sound of a voice from a YouTube clip is analyzed with custom software and translated into servomotor movements. The mouth moves in synch with the video’s voice, which is realized with a bulldog clip that is attached to the lower lip. In the original video clip, a controversial and much-discussed shaman known as Little Grandmother delivers a monologue about religion, ego, and love reminiscent of a mantra.
