My work uses technology to generate artistic products, and explores the relationship between humanity and our tools. Untitled(2019) is a digital work depicting a nude woman in a cloisonnist style, made entirely by automatic. ARCH is an ongoing series of arches made from a variety of materials including ceramics, concrete, rebar, plastic, utilizing different levels of human intelligence to design them. Reciprocation is a performance of repeated actions necessary for the building of skill, in this case ceramics. My upcoming project is a giant laser to blow up the moon, unless the world’s governments give me one million dollars, to be shown at My Back Yard Gallery.
