I have been in a collective of artists called Apetechnology since 2010. We have executed a variety of performances focusing around Robotics, Algorithm and the Machine Aesthetic.
Vision in a Cornfield was a large installation at the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit. We collaborated with members of the venerable Detroit collectives Ogun and Destroy All Monsters. I was deeply involved with the fabrication of the modified cars, as well as control and power wiring. I was sole author of the controlling algorithm which coordinated all sound, motion and light in the installation.
