My Black Cat
In this piece by Knowbotic I am reviewing My Black Cat. 30 black balloons filled with helium hover freely in space(of the room). They are moved subtle by the osculating fan in the room. Audience is free to play with the 30 balloons in the room but on the back wall the words "Super_Extras Don't Move!" When the balloons are moved they have an audio system attached to them that creates them to say a variety of sound bites.
My black cat is black
My black cat is rebellious
My black cat is not easy to control
My black cat is not a variable
My black cat is undefinable
My black cat is irregular
My black cat is illegal
My black cat is never changing
My black cat is inflexible
My black cat is stubborn
When the audience comes in to the piece I think they are put at ease. They can touch the blackcats(Balloons) the viewers can be creative and be playful. But with closer observation you can see not all things are not what they seem. A net is mounted at the ceiling to keep the helium filled balloons from flowing away, The words on the back wall discourage you from touching anything, and the sounds the balloons make as they are moved. So it is open but also very restricted. Just like media we have today in the word open but always censored.
