On March 9th, Nikolas will be lecturing at SHoP Architects in New York as part of their Artist's Series.

Woohoo! We’re bi-coastal!

Imagine our delight when we were contacted by Manuel Fadat, a French curator, researcher, critic and teacher who "geeks out" on technology as much as we do.

Emily here with a wee trifle of life at 1649 Valencia St....

Nikolas posted about this project in Hong Kong when it was being installed back in February.

Puttering about this afternoon, we came across this jewel in the video archive. Though previously posted, it's worth a second pass.

While this transport may seem mundane, we're clicking our heals over here.

Even though we're up to our gills in work, it feels like ages since we've installed a project.

Over the past several years our digital documentary archive has ballooned.

We just received the first transmission from our advance duo that is preparing to install a new artwork in Hong Kong.

Our dear Emily was recently contacted by a graduate student that interviewed me several months back as part of his thesis research.

Shortly before quitting time on Monday, the Under Secretary of Commerce for International Trade from the United States Commerce Department dropped by to present us with an award for export achievem

That's it! Our suitcases are packed and we're headed home.

At long last, our intrepid installers are afoot! Numbering nine in all, they winged their way across the ocean to Delhi to begin work on our new installation.

As some of you may well know by now, we here at the studio like toys. And toys that can be driven and articulated hold a near and dear place in our collective heart.

With three new projects that we've completed swelling our poor little photography library, it is time to make good on keeping the website up to date.

Nobody really knows where Mike came from. Some say Boston. Others persist in some story about a hamlet lost in the Vermont hills.

We're gone and so is the scaffolding under our latest installation in Tokyo.

Most of us here at the studio are, to one degree or another, geeks.

Each season takes one down. Sam was the first to go about two falls ago and stayed home hacking and wheezing on some Friday or Monday.

I am grateful for the mild climes of San Francisco and, with each trip to the Far East, I am reminded that we really have to find work in some other part of the world.

To those of you out there in architecture, this won't seem too nifty. But to the uninitiated, this will definitely be impressive.

Our inveterate tinkerer and engineer, Dave Johnson, has rocked the world of automaton enthusiasts once again.

As unlikely as it may seem, we have been talking to the US Commerce Department over the past two years.

Last week, Ari and Arlen arrived in hot, wet, and sunny Kualu Lumpur to establish base camp at the installation site before the rest of us arrived.

Dave is 29, except he is actually 52.

I was perusing through our photo library and came across this little gem. It's from last week when TJ and Ari were blowing into a brand new cork mold, a steel pipe lined with cork.

And another container was parked in our lot this morning. This standard forty-foot container will be loaded with our latest sculpture that is bound for Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, by ocean freighter.

As part of prepping content for our new website that should be arriving in about a month, we've put together a movie fly-through of the installation.

So, after I made that post about the soccer field, dear Arlen sent me a comparative chart of jets. Arlen was clearly one step ahead of me in imagining absurd gargantuan comparisons.

When we were working on the installation for the new InterContinental Hotel in Shanghai late last year, we always said it was about a football field long.
