This audio-visual sculpture was made from various types of wood, paper, cast-iron, pre-made circuits, glue and electrical tape. It is assemblage as "Thank You". The construction consists of printed images on stickers the are affixed to a compressed wooden box that was sent to me in the post by a large corporation that was soliciting random people to purchase internet time.The box cover art, is graffiti, cropped from a larger photograph taken while visiting New York City, possibly attributable to the work of Masao Gozu (?). Sounds play as the box is opened and a couple of images and a disc are revealed. Image of a robot/bear was transposed from graffiti in the Milwaukee area (artist unknown to me), image2 bear/robot was drawn by Jon Hargreaves. The sounds play for roughly a minute and will do so upon repeated openings of the cover until the non-rechargeable batteries discharge, brown out conditions may also occur. One circuit plays electronic sounds that Doug Seidel (bandcamp.com/dougseidel) recorded and "sent" to me and the other circuit plays a recording of myself tapping organ pipes with the plastic coated handles of needle nosed pliers, (because that's what I had handy), the entire instrument was mounted to a pergola and played while I was simultaneously kicking the bucket. Sound files were flashed to circuit boards, two of them, and mounted inside. A cd-r with associated digital files attempt to document the thing, music, images, video and such-like. It stands on a cast-iron foot, three feathers stuck in the head. Upon completion it was sent to Dave Seidel (mysterybear.bandcamp.com).
