The Project Series
Project 29: Machine Projects

For Project Series 29, Pomona College Museum of Art presents a series of events planned by artists affiliated with Machine Project, a non-profit organization based in Los Angeles. Founded and directed by artist and new Pomona College faculty member Mark Allen, Machine Project encourages and supports creativity and experimentation in art, technology, and science. Its mission is to provide educational resources to artists working with technology; to educate and collaborate with artists to produce site-specific, non-commercial work; and to promote conversations between artists, scientists, poets, technicians, performers, and the communities of Los Angeles.

Featuring a floral volcano, egg tapping robots, the raft of the medusa transforming into a printing press, and a post-industrial time machine, Project Series 29 is an event focusing on the artistic process, experimentation, and student participation. To this end, the exhibition is structured to flow continually from and through one installation into the next installation. A catalogue accompanies the exhibition.

This series is supported in part by the Pasadena Art Alliance and Sarah Miller Meigs.
