Hi 'n' Lo.



Finally Hi 'n' Lo had its debut at the 01SJ global festival of art on the edge. The scissor lift danced a couple of times to a track composed by Jorge Verdín (a member of Clorofila of the Nortec Collective). The music was done with samples of hydraulic sounds, the scissor lift and others made by the tools we used to fabricate it. Salvador "Chava" Muñoz did the inspired hydraulic engineering and hit the switches. This piece was made in collaboration with The Fabric Workshop and Museum, Philadelphia. Additional support by MACLA and 01SJ. The paint job, chrome, rims and grill were done by ADM Works. Particular thanks to Javier Valdivieso and painter Rigo Hernandez. Transportation by Tony Ortiz from Backyard Boogie Hydraulics. The photographs are by Patrick "The Dude" Miller.

The customized machine and some of the original designs will be on display at MACLA in San Jose until August 8. If in the bay area stop by to check the missing link between Brancusi, constructivism and the low rider pick up movement of the late eighties and early nineties.
