Holy Roller

The Holy Roller is a slot machine that uses machine learning to generate new pieces of life advice upon every pull of the handle. The sculpture is fed 500,000 quotes from throughout history and writes a new unique quote for each person who pulls the lever on the machine.

The piece was inspired by the dopamine release that exists both in the mind of a gambler and that feeling we get when refreshing our social media feeds.

Followers is a video sculpture featuring a rabid crowd encased in a ceramic egg. The piece questions the role of technology in our modern day evolution. With increasing access to speed and new technologies, are we becoming more advanced as a civilization or reverting into our primal animalistic selves.
