Degree Show Documentation (Part 2 of 3)

And here's part two...

"Chit Chat Tummy" by Blake Peterson & Zoe Phillips as installed at the Glue Factory, for the Glasgow School of Art MFA Degree Show.

The structure (approx. 6ft wide x 4 ft tall) is coated with day-glow, glow-in-the-dark, and 'night glow' acrylic paint, in addition to: latex body paint, krink, watercolor pigment, metallic ink, screen-printing ink, and various battery-powered LED lights. Additional materials were used in the construction of the base.

The video was placed within the structure, rather than being placed on a plinth, in an attempt to actively engage the viewer. One has to slightly bend at the waist in order to view the monitor, leading viewers to become subconsciously aware of their own stomach.
