Statement

Concept... Media... Social Sculpture.

"My work combines art, media, and public engagement strategy. I'm interested in collaborative platforms that enliven environments, and society."

- A. Traviss Corry

"Societies have always been shaped more by the nature of the media... than by the content of it's communication... The medium is the message. ...the artist is the person whose antenae pick up these messages first...
in the new global village."
- Marshal McLuhan (Communications Theorist, 1968)

“...a system that transforms all the social organisms into a work of art... in which the principle of production and consumption takes on a form
of quality."
- Joseph Beuys (Artist / Politician, 1964)

"The function of the artist is to relate contemporary circumstances to the archetypal ideas. To make these things shine with the radiance of
the path."
- Joseph Campbell (Scholar of comparative mythology,1988)
