Mr. Samuel Swope
Samuel Swope’s practice is most recognized for his research and development of flight and air as medium. Merging multiple media and engineering practices, he constructs and controls aesthetic systems that work with air and are often themselves airborne. Through his practice he often experiments with issues on the non-human, human-machine interaction, and emerging technologies to explore our place within these complex hybrid systems. Swope’s work has been exhibited internationally at venues such as the Smithsonian National Museum of American History, Washington DC; de Sarthe Gallery, Hong Kong; and Chronus Art Center, Shanghai.
