kinetic installation
The hand-held blenders of Jungle Jam spin everyday plastic bags to create a whirlwind of rhythmic sound. They are controlled by a box called ‘Bighead,’ which determines their random movements via a computer program. This musical experiment reflects upon a culture of innovative resistance, which opposes modern technology-driven society by developing imaginative resources for art and music. By shifting and interchanging the visual, sculptural, and aural qualities, Chelpa Ferro stresses the interdisciplinary possibilities enabled by technology, and associates consumerism with the noise of daily life
