Rinaldo: "Standby Deliver" - consists of steel plates facing each other and moving back and forth attached to activating motors. Underneath is a lit glass sugar molecule. Visitors have access to chewing gum, which they chew and stick to the plates, which will stretch out, creating long colorful strings of the sticky substance. After many cycles of the plates back and forth motion, the glass sugar molecule is coated with the colorful goo.
his human activated system uses sugar, gum and machine as metaphor for human consumption and waist cycle while offering mouth and eye candy to help the participant question the impact of their addictive consumerist behavior and the sugar tweaked cognition that results.
The origin of this piece is based on obsessive consumer behaviors, including my own. I admit freely to being a sugar addict (now and again). My consuming behavior can have me chewing 4 packs of gum in a matter of 50 minutes. I usually get spearmint, peppermint, fruit and cinnamon, which I end with. The cinnamon flavor seems to be all I can taste after the other strong preparations. The large gum wad that results is really quite annoying and is partly associated with the accidental wads found on the bottom of my shoes or my pant knees from the underside of school desks.
