Pendulum (2015) aims to design the interview process and presentation in a different way than the conventional one. The idea is to limit the control of the artist in the decision-making process and the outcome. In Pendulum, the control of participants is also limited by chance techniques. A participant picks the interview questions from a pool of questions by the use of randomized methods. Each participant is asked to respond to the interview questions they picked two ways simultaneously; verbally and visually by manipulating a pendulum – that holds up to six drip paint bottles – I designed for this project. Interviewees are asked to use the pendulum and drip paint bottles to reflect their emotional responses on a canvas. The audio recording and visual representation of the pendulum-based painting become the documentation of the interview. Overall, Pendulum allows me to explore and even create new approaches to documentary. I am interested in the participatory creative processes, and I designed this project to test how participatory creative process affects the outcome.
