enarmoured euphorbia v.2.0 shown here in 0.0001 percent volume, curated by Dave Dyment for Mercer Union, Toronto interactive wall socket 2000 (enamoured + armour = enarmoured) + (euphoria + phobia = euphorbia) enarmoured euphorbia is an interactive wall socket/outlet. If the viewer touches the wires,a little childs voice (a plundered sound file from the web) exclaims "i love you".by participating with the work in this manner, the viewer completes the circuit. comprised of a hacked mp3 player, button override circuit, 8ohm amplifier & speaker, and wall socket parts, this seemingly dangerous aparatus unexpectedly and anonymously embraces the viewer upon engagement. at work in enarmoured euphorbia is a kind of co-dependant relationship between artist, object & particpant/viewer. without the viewers engagement, there leaves nothing but implied danger, leaving the artists and objects relationship devoid of human interaction and in a state of missing something, someone.
