I love you (Love in the Absence of Intelligence) May \| 2011
Love in the Absence of Intelligence disembodies the human voice by displacing it into mechanical sculptures. Each sculpture creates a vowel sound when the motorized bellow forces air through a blown glass vessel. Collectively, the sculptures pronounce each of the vowels from the sentence "I love you." When language is no longer decipherable, what emotional resonance does a sentence carry for the viewer?
