Baby Love is a participatory installation that consists of 6
autonomously mobile teacups with 6 clone babies. The teacups are
modeled after spinning carnival rides, except that the soundtrack of
love songs can be uploaded by public via the web at
<http://babylove.biz>http://babylove.biz and directly to the teacups,
where they are coded as ME (memory and emotion) data for the clone
babies. By taking a teacup ride with the babies, the ME data is
retrieved, jumbled and eventually crashes. Baby Love situates human
and baby clone riders in a perpetual spin of the familiar fairground
with contemporary remix pop culture.
