CANNON FODDER
2014 | INSTALLATION
Cannon Fodder or Carne de Cañón is a living universe controlled by electronic interfaces. An algorithm controls and activates various pumps in order to provide life and death into the system. It was the last project I did in Mexico City before moving to California in 2014.
