vote or ELSE with neon SPINNING
I have a piece I collaborated on with 10 other people that is in
Yerba Buena Center for the Arts. It is in the lobby so you can see
it for free. There are 5 machines manipulating the other peoples’
work, it is very Agit-prop like with hundreds of political fliers for
free. Be sure to interact with everything, press the buttons, step
on pad, have your heart-beat trigger the eraser.
Back in December I had breakfast with Chris Johanson,
Matt Gonzalez just got his san Francisco mayoral bid STOLEN
from him by the democratic party and Bill Clinton and Al NAFTA
Gore and a bunch of millionaires.

We were bummed and we thought about all the work we did for
matt’s election and were wondering what to do next and we
thought of the presidential election 11 months off.
And we started scheming this piece.
