Machine Project is a Los Angeles-based organization dedicated to helping artists do fun experiments together with the public. We investigate art, technology, natural history, science, music, literature, and food, producing shows at locations ranging from beaches to museums to parking lots.
Over the course of the fall of 2015, Machine Project will be in residence at Colgate University and in Hamilton, New York as the Christian A. Johnson Endeavor Foundation artists-in-residence. This is Machine Project’s first collaboration with a whole town, organized by the Colgate Art and Art History Department and hosted by Hamilton residents, business owners, cultural venues and the faculty, students and staff of the university. These experiments explore ways that art can function in familiar (the museum, a gallery) and unfamiliar (the street, a yoga center, the village green) locations as an integral part of what defines community. Cultural production and reception will reimagine the array of activities—commercial, personal, educational, civic—that form our blended community.
