In a couple of weeks, I’m exhibiting a new artwork at a huge creative arts event. I’m sure it will be lost in the crowd, but I’m enjoying putting it all together.
It’s a reaction to Yanagisawa’s boneheaded “women are birth-giving machines” speech in January. What if all Japanese women turned into machines and had little robot babies? This is the idea I’m exploring in a short animation and an interactive sculpture.
I was working on the animation today. It’s very simple. Maybe embarrassingly simple, but I don’t mind. It gets the message across. Here is a 15 second clip (currently silent) from the beginning of the program.
If you want to see the rest of the animation or to play with the sculpture (more on that in a future post) why not plan to come to Design Festa? Not only will I be there, but 2600 extremely talented artists and craftspeople, too! Bring your wallet, there’s lots of amazing handmade stuff to buy.

We’ll be there. Can I wear a robot costume too?
