The basic plan is to build an animatronic version of myself. Just the head...for now. Moving eyes controlled by micro controllers and the plan is that the puppet head will be an extension of my body. Some outside take on puppetry....From this performance with the "mikaela puppet" ,ill call it for now, hopefully some beautiful staged photos, digital paintings/ composites and drawings will follow after. I want to leave it open. Nothing is set in concrete. My first step is to...well...I got to make the puppet head first.
Problems: Materials that i need (Micro Controller) is out of my budget. So i have some technical issues with the piece that i will have to solve. Using traditional manual puppetry mechanisms ?
There is also talk of a video collaboration with Jen Nugent and another with Jenny Vu. I dont want to talk about it. Something primitive. Explain later.
