Mojo & Daisy
Hugh Hart first told me about Mojo in March 2007. The work is a robot light installation by Christian Moeller that shines a spotlight on passers by in San Pedro.
“Before the wall came down between East and West Germany, if you walked in the forest near the border, you might find yourself in the middle of such a light,” he said. “Would that be fun? Probably not. But the way Mojo looks takes us out of this context of evil-looking tools of repression. Think about a clown in the circus or the follow spot in a Broadway musical. Is the sculpture intended to communicate that other layer or not? I leave that up to the people who experience it” says Moeller

Using the same technology as Mojo, Daisy is a robotic arm that “randomly moves a cargo ship propellor made of fiberglass in the air. Videocameras embedded in the base of the sculpture capture the presence of passers-by allowing Daisy to move and face her viewers”. Created for Changi Airport, Singapore 2008
