Bad Luck Washer ( 2021 )
Collaboration with the artist Kyungjin Kim
Red Bean, Motor, Motion detector, Arduino, Metal, Wood
It was made with red beans. Through the lens of Korean culture, it symbolizes an object that cleanses you and drives bad things out of one’s system ( bad fortune, ghosts, illness, etc). Traditionally, at every end or beginning of the new year, Koreans eat a red bean porridge to cleanse themselves and to wish good luck for the upcoming year. “Bad Luck Washer” imitates a car washing machine and spins when a person passes by, activated by an attached Arduino and PIR motion detector.
