This is a project I began a week or two ago while dismantling and fitting new parts to my mountain bike. The project is to explore a number of my interests such as cross country mountain biking (XC), digital art - sound and image, and coding.
The project aims to explore my connections with the space where I not only make paintings, but also store my mountain bike and routinely maintain it - a garage with studio combined. A very untidy place right now...
Anyhow, to view the project, follow the link Zen and the New Media Art of Bicycle Mechanics.
