A few spoons of mashed food sprinkled around the wooden sphere were all that was needed to draw their attention away from other things in the paddock. The pigs hustled around the sphere, pushing it out of their way in search for food. The video camera inside the wooden sphere yielded astonishing pictures of a world rocking gently back and forth, spinning, and at times turned upside down. Whether by tying knots, pulling cables across continents or thinking through causes and effects, we seek and eventually create links. Along with scientists and engineers, artists share the obsession of inventing physical, virtual or hypothetical links.
Artistic research helps pull a new string with a different colour through the growing mesh of links.
