A monitor hangs from the ceiling held by two thin wires. On the TV is a close-up of the artist’s feet jumping continually into the air. As the feet land on the floor 2 pneumatic pistons pulse the TV giving the impression that the weight of the landing feet somehow effect the erratic swinging motion of the television swinging it back and forth through the air. This work continues Miller’s explorations of gravity and balance (physical and psychological).
