Technical Information:

This work uses CAD, CNC machine tools, wood, plastic, metal, electronics, and mechanics to “explore the question of how computational methods, machine tools, and fabrication resources can be used outside the paradigm of application, function, purpose, and profit… What would a machine look like and how would it move if it is made as an artistic expression in a culturally relevant context rather than a purely economic one?”
