The
text is taken from Girl Scout and Boy Scout manuals, describing
a similar activity with a different set of verbs. The images
are of various male and female body parts. When a viewer cranks
the generator mounted on the exercise bench, a stepper motor
rotates the lead screw, sending a pair of cameras reading through
the field of text on a number of pre-programmed paths, imaging
the text as 3-D logo's. One camera rotates around the diorama
of images of male and female body parts, causing them to morph
in and out of each other at specific rotation speeds. The bottom
camera looks into a mirror back at the aperture wall, spinning
it into a vortex. The piece uses references to cinematic montage
and computer graphics in its final constructed view, which alternates
between 3-D images of text and dissolve sequences from separate
camera views. The viewer sees the resulting imaging sequences
floating in space, framed by the aperture wall.
