Bounce was shown in the Junk to Funk exhibition at the Darwin Visual Arts Association, Darwin, Australia, in October 2016.

The theme of the exhibition was to "reuse and re-purpose recycled materials". For this work, the children's toy is something I picked up on hard rubbish the year before. The phone was my old phone which didn't work properly as a phone anymore, but could play videos and apps, so it was recycled too. And the animation was a test done in 2010 for uploading to Vimeo, which I always liked but had never used. So it too in a way was recycled. The headphones, however, were new.

The Bounce animation was delivered as an app on the phone.

Viewers can't hear the sound until they put on the headphones.
