The centerpiece of this interactive performance / installation is a 15 foot tall soda pop machine. Inside the Pop Machine is a mechanized system of making, bottling, & labeling the Pop Art. The Pop Art comes in four styles of consumable soda pop: RED - raspberry / cherry, BLUE - blueberry cream soda, YELLOW - banana / coconut, & GREEN - sour apple. Surrounding The Pop Machine on the wall at various heights and locations are oversized light switches and buttons, which when operated turn on the various lights of the Pop Machine and get the soda pop flowing to the bottling station. The white climbing holds that I use to get to the light switches, buttons, and Pop Art ingredients were designed by friends, family, collectors, gallery directors, professors, and myself.
