Dept. of Art and Art History Lecture at San Jose State
I've been invited to give a lecture at San Jose State's Department of Art and Art History on Sept. 29th from 5-6pm. The lectures are usually held in Art #133. I'll be talking about the conceptual history of my current work and the processes used to create a ceramic robot. For more information about the lecture or San Jose State's lecture series check out their schedule. In case you couldn't tell, I'm excited about talking at my alma mater!AICAD2015 Symposium
I've been selected to participate in the AICAD 2015 Symposium at the California College of the Arts in San Francisco, Nov. 5-7th. I'll be giving a talk in association with theExploring Science in the Studio program on Friday November 6th. Looks like there will be an amazing lineup of artists and Natalie Jeremijenko is the keynote speaker. Donald Day, Nathan Lynch and Susan Anker will be there as well! I'm so honored to be invited to be a part of this. For other speakers, times and locations check our their website.
TE+ND (Terrestrial Exploration + Nurture Designed) Rovers are an interactive art project that explore migratory ecology in an era of climate change. The rovers are robotic fostering environments that care for their own garden of native plants by interacting with participants and actively seeking out light and water.

Where are the rovers now? Well, the ceramic version is currently at the Richmond Art Center for the California Now exhibition. It's a showcase of contemporary and innovative works in clay, glass and enamel created today in California. The jurors chose the works that they felt melded technical excellence and content and pushed the boundaries of their prospective craft. The reception is Saturday June 13th from 5 to 7pm and the show runs through August 23rd. Hope to see you there.
Update: The ceramic rover one first place for clay in California Now!

New rover field test, this time with a new planted platform. This platform is all ceramic, some soil and all native plants. The test took place at Briones Park in the East Bay. You can see the rover slowly making it over a hill. As I've discussed before, the rover moves slowly (because it only has to keep up with the sun) but it has a lot of torque. There is no sound as I am going to use it in a presentation at NCECA (The National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts) and didn't want to mute it or talk over it. Enjoy!
