Transformer!

No, I am not talking about the movie.

Today is TGIF. Let's see the latest work of our residential artist!



Here is a breif introduction :

Frog Time
Brain Kenp, 2007, non-repeating video installation

A frog cycles endlessly from tadpole to juvenile. The movement is often frantic as the creature struggles to keep up with time, but occasionally the frog slows down, perhaps accepting the inevitability of change.




I like this one better than the first two - drift and whatever I forgot its name.

Actually, I start thinking maybe it really works for bringing artists into our department. The work precisely describes the life of graduate students/postdocs - "often frantic", "struggles to keep up with time", and "occasionally slows down, perhaps accepting the inevitability".
