Heidi Kumao
Performative Technologies
Working at the intersection of sculpture, theater and engineering, Heidi Kumao presents carefully sculpted moments that explore personal responses to imposed social structures. Her work demonstrates the poetic affect that memory and emotion instill in our everyday interactions. Her "Performative Technologies" generate artistic spectacles using forgotten technologies from previous centuries and powerful tools from the digital age.
