REMOTE CONTROLLED SHOOTING STARS
Dimensions: 14″x 6 ½” x6 ½” , plexi-glass. LEDs, motor, paper

Made for the show Dimensions Variable; Site Fixed, Remote Controlled Shooting Stars is a model for a proposed public art work. The proposal calls for remote controlled shooting stars to be sited in the sky above Saairnen’s MIT Chapel. The project’s execution will test art and technology’s ultimate ability to engage, mediate, alter and, finally control the very nature of what is real. And for those who believe in astrology , Remote Controlled Shooting Stars – allow us to play gods – by re-arranging the heavens and, by extension, our destinies.
