Life Support Machine


'Luca Gemma Luca Gemma

This work promotes the concept and the experience of a therapeutic inter-relationship between people and machines. Rather than expressing a complex behaviour repertoire, the Life Support Machine has a calming predictability that is based on the sound of waves. Thousands of fish scales layered between plastic sheeting rub together driven by a motorized mechanism that expresses recorded waveforms.
