Max Dean and Raffaello D'Andrea have always been fun and interesting to keep up with. At the venice biennale they had one of my favorite works which was a table that forms relationships. More on that HERE but for now they have released their final version of the self assembling chair. Originally worked on for the past few years and slated to be completed in may of 2007 (a bit late but we forgive them) is now done. While at the University of Georgia I took a autonomous robotics class and thought this guy was amazing, my fellow classmates (not one of which was an artist) did not understand or agree. What a bunch of crazies. Some other great robotic videos are linked below.
Originally from everywhere (raised in a military family) I received my BFA from The University of Florida and my MFA from The University of Georgia. I am currently living in Georgetown Kentucky where I am a Professor of Sculpture at Georgetown College.
