electronic bento box


Electronic Bento box was created for an exhibition sponsored by The Japanese Paper Place in 2006 called "The Power of Two". 14 artists were given a sheet of handmade Japanese paper and were asked to decorate it in the medium of their choice. The papers were then distributed to 14 other artists whose assignment was to use it in turn in their own medium.
The result was a show that ranged from furniture to a delicate little mobile. Electronic Bento Box employed a piece by Susan Low Beer who commented to me in passing that she thought it looked like an electric hedge. To me it suggested electronic sushi.
