In Your Hands (Detail), Dash MacDonald
Machined aluminium, 150-watt DC motor, servo motor, electronics, ice skating boots, lycra, scooter helmet, orange cones
From remote control roller-skates, which place the artist's fate in the hands of the audience, to a scaled podium that forms the centre for a workshop teaching primary-school children political spin and the art of successful persuasion, my work attacks behavioural norms and established ideas of decency and morals, creating social experiments in which objects serve as the catalyst.
