Arnold Morales

Why is it that the works are mechanical?
Why have only metal?
Do they move at all?

Why is it that the artist makes his works cause fear? light injury?
- the pieces of art he has tend to hit the viewers or even shock them

Had a life-death experience when an attacker placed a gun against his head and fired
- the artist survived
- it changed him and his art

Interesting how the artist takes note of what responses he gets from certain actions with his viewers
-hot water: tantalizing as well as distressing
- blinding bright light: releases aggression even among those who normally denounce such act
- zapped with bolt of raw electricity: attracts as well as repel

*It's like he makes his art pieces no tot display them, not to show you what he can do nor express himself, but to see one's reaction to a sudden action.

He always wanted to do similar things long before the gun incident. Had numerous near-death experiences mostly due to curiosity; to see how things worked.
He learned to fix things off of his mother giving him things to fix.

Why is it he always wants a reaction?
- when a child, his mother never was overly concerned for his safely when he did dangerous experiments
- nor was she too thrilled when he showed her his finished piece
So he strives to get that reaction from people any way he can

Enjoys new rules, different spaces one isn't used to
-likes the unexpected
Even though he enjoys being over others, like a bully having control over individuals, his viewers still have a good time.
- they don't feel completely like victims
- it excites them
