Art, Technology, and Society
A piece jointly developed with Ken Goldberg (UC Berkeley) representing Frank Lloyd Wright's famous building Fallingwater, realized in silicon at about one-millionth scale, has been shown at various venues (listed below). The structure, invisible to the naked eye and usually displayed in an installation with desk, microscope, and lights, raises the issue of our increasing dependence on technology to define reality. See our websites at Berkeley or Cornell.
