The Hula-Graph Actualizer
14.10.11 – 22.11.11
Taking inspiration from Jackson Pollock’s dictum “I am nature”, The Hula-Graph Actualizer functions like a seismograph, barometer or MRI device by sensing, measuring and recording particular phenomena. The Hula-Graph Actualizer translates and records forces of “nature” by releasing pigment onto a canvas while parts of the device are in motion as a result of various forces acting upon them.
