Words from the artist: I'm an artist working in various media includes text, public performance, multi-media installation, and interactive installation. I believe that one of the most important contemporary artists’ roles in this globalized and technology oriented society is to facilitate collective creative potentials, shared visions as well as stimulating the imagination beyond the limits of fixed identities of the public. My work initiates conversations and activates a social space in a public forum through subtle but intentionally selective encounters arts can provide.
yeah, kick butt!
I am familiar with this project, and can speak to its importance. This artist demonstrates a deep understanding in the use of art to bridge the bridge the divide between people. I encourage everyone to support this project and watch it bloom.
kick some butt!
