I will be teaching people how to build contact mics to be attached to melons. Once equipped with melons participants will join a drum circle. Later they will eat their melons (hopefully amplified).
As part of Fallen Fruit's Let Them Eat LACMA, with Machine Project.
Machine Project (2003 - 2018) was an informal, non-profit, educational institution located in a storefront space in the Echo Park neighborhood of Los Angeles and a group of people working together to create, study and share new forms of culture and ways of living. We collaborate with artists, thinkers and local communities to produce non-commercial projects that investigate art, performance, technology, science, music, literature and new ideas for creative engagement. We believe an organization can be a machine for thinking together.
