I used repurposed and recycled materials salvaged from old projects to make this puppet.
This is a meditation on the word ‘manipulate’. What does it mean to ‘manipulate’ something? What feelings does it inspire: indifference, caution, fear, delight?
It varies. ‘Manipulate’ can assume a negative connotation in politics or advertising, but it takes on a more benign meaning in design or engineering to describe the ways humans tinker and modify.
