Marine Antony, a dancer and Fine Arts student at Concordia University, stopped by the Black Box to share some thoughts on my project. A few of the dancers were really interested in the idea of locating sensors on themselves and then translating their motion to the marionettes. Marine also brought some fascinating images by French artist Annette Messager. I saw Messager's work when I was at the Centre Pompidou in Paris over last summer. Her pieces are fascinating, grotesque, stuffed, moving, dramatic...I could go on. Messager was awarded the Lion d'Or at the Venice Biennale in 2005. The 2007 Venice Biennale showcased some of Messager's work as well as a few other very interesting installations working with robotics and inflatable devices.
