Ken Feingold discusses his recent works involving computer-generated performances. These pieces, which the artist refers to as "cinematic sculptures," often include extremely realistic, speaking animatronic human heads that talk and respond to viewers ("Sinking Feeling," 2001; "Lantern," 2005) or to each other ("If/Then," 2001; "You," 2004; "What If?," 2005). The listening and speaking figures - digitally and pneumatically activated silicone portraits - explore the unpredictability and complexity that language and mind create between people. The dialogs are not pre-recorded and are always different, generated in real time by computer programs written by the artist. Feingold uses technology to give each figure a personality, a vocabulary, associative habits, obsessions, and other traits of personality. Feingold employs metaphors of the artificial to get to what we understand about the real, how we communicate, and how meaning often is elusive or transient.
