Instruments of Life
_{Two kinetic objects that interact with each other, solo exhibition at No Vacancy Gallery, Melbourne, 2019.}

Lamp (counteracting lamp)
_{ultraviolet bug light, anti-insect yellow light, steel, motor, cable
dimensions variable}

Pickup (electromagnetic microphone)
_{inductor, cable

dimensions variable}

Instruments of Life is an investigation into our primal familiarity with technology. This installation is made up of two key components. Lamp incorporates two distinctly different frequencies of light in motion: one that attracts organic life, while the other repels it. Pickup is a custom made microphone synthesizer array that detects and translates electromagnetic waves (emitted by Lamp and any electrical device in its vicinity) to sound.
