In collaboration with Dale MacDonald, my mentor at the time, we had helped with the technical side of programming and wiring the interactive sculptures for Leticia Ferreira and xtine burrough the leading forces behind the Radium Girls project. This Python code allowed for patrons to pull on a chain and listen to the story of the Radium Girls one birdcage at a time and pull the chain again to stop the story for it to start again at the beginning. In total there were five different stories and five different birdcages.
