Conceptually this work represents duality, from the harsh reality of the ‘real world’ and the artificially created dream world known as The Matrix. The left side of the casemod with its reflective surfaces is suggestive of the director(s) creative use of mirrors and reflections. On the right side, we have the real world: dark and bleak, but chillingly purposeful.

800 Hours working day and night on my kitchen table with just a few hand tools. I'm tired! :yawn:

Here we have the Matrix Orbital 4x20 character VFD display scrolling the matrix code. The tubes were filled with clear resin tinted with a drop of red food dye.

Here we have a close up of the egg which holds the animatronic fetus. The fetus is 1.5 inch puppet with a handmade brass skeleton with hinges at the shoulders and hips. While displayed, the egg is filled with a mixture of pure glycerine tinted with red and yellow food dye, and "floating bits" made from cotton balls. When the button is pressed on the control panel, the fetus begins a pre-programmed series of twitches and joint movement. The Puppet II controler board contains a few kilobytes of EEPROM for storing your predetermined servo actions.
