Consisting of six vintage suitcases, Carry On explores paranoia. Using robotic arms fitted with micro-cameras and black and white LCD screens, the suitcases in Carry On busy themselves with the task of surveying their surroundings. Lacking image analysis of any kind or other sensory capability, these suitcases blindly look about, never understanding what they see.2006
Materials: Vintage suitcases, LCD screens, motors, custom electronic
Descriptions & Essays
