Live Bait

Live Bait: The illusion of Life and AI is a series of interactive assemblages designed as lures. Each sculpture uses knobs, pulleys, switches, lights, movement, and directional cues to tempt the viewer into touching it — like bait, like a hook, like a snare, like a trap.

Illusions of creativity, illusions of intention, illusions of agency..

These iworks are not meant to dictate a single storyline. Instead, they act as visceral, cinematic entry points—leaving just enough unsaid to allow the viewer’s own imagination to create its own adventure.
