Ribcage (for Eternal Friends) (2024)
Deconstructed monitor, monitor arm, PLA plastic, spray paint, M4 screws, Raspberry Pi 3 Model A+. 1.5′ × 2′ × 2.5′.
Deconstructed computer monitor rehoused in a 3D-printed amorphic ribcage structure. The skeletal form encases the monitor, making it a “vague, almost human vessel.”
The screen plays an AMV (Anime Music Video) of Naruto and Sasuke set to The Same Deep Water as You by The Cure — sourced from animemusicvideos.org, made by user “Scottie.” References fan-made media and the way shared fictional relationships are deepened collectively through online platforms.
Designed in Rhinoceros 8 + Grasshopper. 3D printed in PLA on Bambu A1 and A1 Mini. Pin-and-screw fastening system with M4 screws/nuts. Primed, sanded, matte white spray paint finish.
