We are a two-person team whose work investigates the intersection between art, design and technology. Our work is especially focused on humanizing technology as well as employing it as a medium for poetic experience. We believe in the beauty of technology and its capacity to enable complex tasks, communicate stories, and enhance the spaces around us. As graduates of the Media Arts and Sciences Program at Massachussetts Institute of Technology we have both been well exposed to the idea of creative application of technology and have made it a primary basis of our own professional careers. We have extensively explored material qualities of technology through internal and commissioned exhibition pieces. Our work reflects our broad range of interests: hardware, software, design, and traditional art and craft techniques. We recently completed a residency at the Anderson Ranch Art Center, having been selected for their Extending Creativity in Digital Media NEA-funded program. We used the opportunity to further develop and refine our process for hand-printing electroluminescent (EL) lamps using traditional screenprinting techniques. On a modest scale, the resulting prints exemplify what we strive for in our work: unique process, integration of inherently interesting technology, a focus on materiality, and the juxtaposition of electronics with organic form and behavior. |
