Monica Cook:
Volley
Volley is a sound activated, interactive animation that will explore human-animal interface:
interspecies communication; animals as totems and deities in early human cultures; anthropomorphism;
and the 'uncanny valley' wherein human-created beings, whether animated, robotic, or otherwise, hover
in the disturbing zone between real and imagined.
This animation will be activated by the sound of the audience's applause. In order for the animation
to play, clapping must continue, once it ceases the visuals stop. The participation with the audience
is key. They must give in order to receive, yet, if something appears slightly questionable to be
applauding, they must decide to continue to partake or withdrawal, knowing that they could be equally
judged if their interest overrides their ideology.
