ChobeeWowbee Village will host a remarkable roster of contemporary artists and designers, including Bamboo DNA’s Gerard Manakawa, production designer/installation artist Hillary Andujar, interdisciplinary artist Prescott McCarthy, Sparceland Studios founder Charlie Smith, interactive muralist Shrine, stage designer/sculptor Joel Stockdill, New Media designer Julian Picaza, and the Moksha collective of artists, musicians, technicians.
Among the many highlights of the ChobeeWowbee artist community will be Taylor Kuffner’s Gamelatron Project, a site-specific installation that melds the thousand-year-old sonic tradition of Indonesian Gamelan with the emerging field of robotics to create an immersive, kinetic musical sculpture.
Furthermore, Miami artist Bhakti Baxter has created a series of seven illuminated, inflatable heads honoring such historically significant icons as Syd Barrett, Bessie Smith, John Coltrane, Nicola Tesla, John Cage, Max Planck, Marie Curie, Buckminster Fuller, and the one and only David Bowie. In addition to their striking artistic power, the eight-foot-high Heads will also serve a functional use, lighting paths and serving as unforgettable landmarks for festival attendees.
