MOVEMENT is a machine performance that documents the activities of a heap of small contraptions and mundane mechanical activities, in an effort to remind its audience of the wonder to be found in the physical, the tactile, the small and the overlooked.
Rob Duarte is a sculptor currently obsessed with the sleight of hand, half-truths, and disinformation that blur the lines between fact and fiction in the history of culture and technology. His work takes place at the intersection of artistic production, pseudo-scientific research and lighthearted terrorism. Rob has degrees in Information Systems, Computer Science, and Sculpture from the University of Massachusetts and the Massachusetts College of Art. MOVEMENT is his MFA thesis exhibition.
