Dance of Despair, 2019. Arduino and Node.js.In collaboration with Sue Roh.Dance of Despair is an installation with a marionette that mirrors the user’s movements. Much like the concepts explored in the scene of “Craig’s Dance of Despair and Disillusionment” from Being John Malkovich (1999), users are to control the marionette’s joints with their own bodily movements—this convergence of the puppeteer and the puppet is represented by the virtual image of the user’s body on screen and through the physical actions of the marionette.
