‘Interaction’ is an important element of Chao-Tsai Chiu’s creative process, and he incorporates audience participation into the rational language of mechanical sculpture, making use of witty humor to transform something everyday into a child-like game world.

Blowing bubbles is a childhood game for most people. At the moment the bubbles float away, the world around us unhinges from reality, and for a brief instant become as a dreamscape. The Bubble Cannon is a mechanical bubble-blowing installation, which relies on audience interaction to function. When a visitor rotates the knob, the machine kicks into action blowing bubbles of all sizes. This work is aimed at changing the atmosphere of real spaces; allowing viewers to recapture the dream-like qualities of their childhood while they watch the bubbles float away.
