2005 "Thera" Collaboration with Ikuo Nakamura
Ikuo Nakamura is a Japanese electronic artist based in New York City. He has studied Physics at Science University of Tokyo and Holography at New York Holographic Labratories.
​
We met at an exhibit at Hololab when it was still located in Long Island City, NY. (BTW: Ikuo's 3D work was featured at our 2017 ModernfoldStyles 60th anniversary event.)
​
The 'Thera' collaboration was created shortly after that first meeting. Ikuo wanted to superimpose a stop motion video on top his image of my holographic 3D performance-art portrayal of Madam X.
Emulating the original model, I moved as if preparing for a photo shoot adjusting my dress and strap before the pose.
'When I finally rest into the pose I will relax my shoulder so that the strap falls down,' I explained.
'Can you really make the strap do that?' Ikuo asked.
​
Well, to all the strap-wearers out there, haven't we all experienced those those recalcitrant shoulder straps that just won't stay put? Here we put the shoulder-strap law of physics to work for art's sake!
