Vino Viper
This is a project to explore new forms of interpersonal communication through touch, force-feedback technology, intimacy, social interaction via technology, machines, robot, fear play, machine, human and animal interaction, rite of passage and empowerment. This is my serpant which spits out vino, like a cobra spitting out venom or a porn star shooting his wad. It is operated by a breathe sensor and flex sensors in a glove. The viper symbolizes the snake in the garden of Eden tempting Adam and Eve, I think the real metaphor is a temptation with sex (snake as penis).
