The Compliment Machine

2017
Interactive sound installation

Compliments and glitter confetti rains down through the pressing of a button. Enjoy your time in the spotlight for as long as you like. This installation fills the room with empty words thus problematizing the usage, purpose and effects of shallow compliments. You just need to scratch a bit on the surface and the fabrication leaks out - the compliment is a construction.
