Biting the Steel Toes Off Electric Pigs was an installation
at the OK Hotel in 1992 by Janet and Edward Galore, in collaboration
with Christopher MacRae on the sound track.
The inspiration for the installation was riding the Bainbridge
Island ferry at night, on the top deck, under the heat lamps. In the
dim light you can smell the burning disel fuel, feel the heat on your
head, and the heavy metal ground beneath your feet vibrates with the
pulsing of the engines. We'd like to do a heavy-duty version of this
some day, using steel instead of aluminum.
