Each module has a light and single different sound that are activated from movement. Plastic Blob is a plob - A plob is the state between liquid plastic and solid material object. A Plob is a noun, but is also a verb. I plob in a state of endlessness. Capp Gallery is turned into a non-stop amorphous plastic scape that denotes a world with no boundaries - The space extends itself via plastic organic modules of repetition d a continuum of surface based on a conventional Cartesian grid. Plob is a metaphor for a continuous world, a neutral landscape, and an undulating surface that is reconfigurable and sizable ad infinitum. The lightweight plastic moldings are rearrangeable abstractions that are a growth from the floor, walls, and ceiling - an extension of the natural landscape to the artificial landscape. All the notions of objects as singular are dispelled and are replaced by an environment rising out of the ground. The continuous white field is surrounded by field of fluorescence to allude to the world of technology, to digital space and arbiters, as a recluse from infotrophy. Inevitably our entire physical landscape will merge and connect. Furniture and space merge, Object and environment, City and town, water and ground, highway to highway, being to being. Please come.
