On November 15th, 2008 Machine Project was invited to visit the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, orchestrating ten hours of performances, workshops, and events experimenting with LACMA’s expansive grounds and enormous collection of stuff.

And we’ve got some nice videos over here.

This project was co-funded by LACMA’s public programs, the Ralph M Parsons endowment, and machine project’s much beloved funders.

We are still in the process of documenting the show - below you can find brief info on each project.
