That torch is now in our hands

On February 28, 2016, Donald Trump gave his first address to Congress. He sent a clear message that enlightens his Presidential philosophy: "Each American generation passes the torch of truth, liberty and justice --- in an unbroken chain all the way down to the present. That torch is now in our hands. And we will use it to light up the world." "That Torch is Now in Our Hands" is an interactive installation made of 2 parts: - A model of the Statue of Liberty holding the torch. This torch is the main light of the space, up to 5 public address speakers surround the statue (the number commensurate to the exhibition space size). The loudspeakers diffuse the excerpts of the U.S. President talk. The statue light reacts to the sound: the light intensity is stronger when nobody is speaking, and it becomes lower when Trump's voice is heard. The higher the voice, the lower the light. The statue is like a bird, covered with feathers. We understand quickly that the feathers are just glued with tar. In an extended version, we can imagine 5 fans making feathers flying like a tornado around the statue, full Trump's address: https://youtu.be/3ZxsuGEL6yE (after 7')
