Thinking Rock
2005
L.E.D. signs, card-board, plaster, chicken wire
3’ x 5’ x 2’

Description: This sculpture utilizes L.E.Ds. signs which use widely on buses and taxis. Inside the thought bubble are 2 L.E.Ds that run texts written for a specific location. Writers are invited to write texts for the sculpture so its text will be updated regularly. In this sculpture, the fake rock is thinking about rock’s lifespan, about Magritte’s painting of the pipe. It contemplates that if it were a real rock, it would have been able to witness the first day of American history when the Indians and buffalo roamed the land, stampede, sat and peed on it. The fake rock goes on to tell events in its history and what it has seen in its specific surrounding. The text’s content is limited by only a writer’s imagination. This is one of a few sculptures utilizing L.E.D. I made.

Other Projects:

World Condom Project
