Gravitational Pull

“I don’t make changes to confuse anyone. I’m just searching.That’s what causes me to change. I’m just searching for myself.”
David Bowie

Gravitational Pull delves into the cyclical nature of identity, time, and memory. This kinetic artwork responds to the viewer’s movement, echoing David Bowie’s continual process of self-reinvention. At its centre is a container on Bowie’s forehead, where symbolic objects—representing memories and cues—dynamically shape his identity in real-time. As viewers move through space, these objects shift, illustrating Einstein’s theory of space-time, while gravity causes circular elements to rise, conceptually linking them to moments from Bowie’s life. Inspired by Bowie’s “Width of a Circle,” the piece symbolizes the gravitational pull of identity, with each transformation part of a continuous, fluid, and ever-evolving loop.

"I don’t make changes to confuse anyone. I’m just searching. That’s what causes me to change. I’m just searching for myself." – David Bowie

Transforms Between Two Identities with a Blink of the Eye.
With a level of sophistication that echoes its profound sentience, The Changemaker has inherited David Bowie’s desire to defy confinement. In an ingenious manifestation of this spirit, it develops its own technology enabling it to dynamically alter its outward appearance with a blink of the eye and based on the angle at which it is viewed. This remarkable ability allows the
Bot to embody the transient nature of David Bowie, embracing the philosophy that, much like a fleeting sunset or love, nothing in this world is a concrete reality to be held onto but rather enjoyed briefly and tentatively, while also reflecting Bowie’s stated desire to flit like a butterfly from one creative flower to another and not to be locked into one thing.
