Installation, 2010
One barely notices the phase between sleep and wakefulness.
Experiences of the last dream may still have an effect, bits of information, still lingering from the hours
before falling asleep, fade away.
For the installation sentient (being) a physiological rhythm measured during that phase is being
transferred onto an object, seemingly bringing it to life.

Kinetic Object, 2009
An intricate web placed on a cot receives impulses from a network of Nitinol wire
and cable ties passing through it.
The series of arrhythmic stimuli is derived from data recorded during the phases
between sleep and wakefulness.
