Motion@Flashpoint

I enjoyed the Motion exhibit at the Flashpoint Gallery mostly for its "fun" factor. The art was all interactive and showcased what could be done with technology. However, it seemed that there wasn't a whole lot of substance underneath the surface of these pieces. Either that, or I'm just not nuanced enough to appreciate what the artists were trying to get across (which is also very possible). My favorite piece, pictured below, is called "Bathroom Beats." A series of intertwined metal tubes protrude from a toilet and sink like a bunch of snakes. If you touch the tubes with a metal rod each one makes a different prerecorded noise.
