You might as well sneeze 1999.

Two lead pipes, solar powered movement sensor lighting and transmitter with surround sound speakers, glass plinth.

Two cast lead pipes on a glass plinth filled with light, conspicuously placed in the middle of a gallery. When approached by a 'viewer' a movement sensor sets off one of a series of incomplete ubiquitous leading riffs, an invitation to participate, complete, perform.

The work has its origins in the myth of Prometheus' artificial man brought to life via a sneeze induced by a vial of sunlight, Kant's proposal that a priori that we are hardwired for creativity and of course Duchamp's ironic invitation "why don't you sneeze Rrose Selavy?" A pointer to the very ambiguities inherent in the various historical claims on the origins of human creativity.
