Piano: Face Jumble (2013)

Concept

Play music. Jumble face.

This piece started as a sequel to Face Book with a Hole where I borrowed the idea of a die-cut book that connects a page to the next via a hole on a page. I intended to convey the connection between human emotions by creating connected faces in the book. In Piano: Face Jumble, I expand the project emotionally and visually by using the form of a musical instrument that allows multiple inputs simultaneously beyond the confinement of connected pages on a book.

In Piano: Face Jumble, a series of notes played by a performer interactively creates a face. It mixes up to 10 different faces and create a new face on each play, by dividing the screen into parts.
