 Tentacle (1995)
Diamond plate, computer, light sensor, motor;
36x25x5"; 35lbs.
Status: collection of Naiomi and
Charles Kremer
This light-sensitive piece extends a 24" long flexible aluminum tentacle in the
presence of light. Viewers may cast a shadow upon the tentacle tip, causing it to
retract, where it remains for a few minutes and then cautiously extends again. The
piece is retracted and dormant during periods of darkness.
 Tentacle is wall mounted and weighs 30 lbs. It has two keyholes on
the back, 16" apart, for screw or hook hanging. It requires a minimum of ten
feet of open space in front, and three feet on either side. It requires a 120v wall
outlet at the floor within ten feet of the piece. The current drain is negligible.
