MAKS @ Nicodema Plaza
MAKS performing on 3/22/18 at Sister Nicodema Plaza in Brooklyn, NY. It was a first to be out in the snow. Lots of logistical hurdles during this outing – the canvas fell over and knocked one of the censers onto an innocent bystander. We tied it to a tree and kept it moving. LEDs were impossible to perceive in the direct sunlight, but as a video it came together. Having the crowd participate (see last minute of documentation) was fun, and might be worth exploring that more.

Genital Windows
Two large light boxes with laser cut steel MAKS insignia atop painted imagery. The steel shields represent male and female signs. The male sign is the electronic sign of a resistor, and the female a capacitor. Did you know the universal sign of anger is mutilated genitalia?
