This summer I worked with the Joshua Tree based artist Andrea Zittel at A-Z West, her Institute of Investigative Living, exploring the notion of an integrated art and life practice. I will be synthesizing this experience in a two week art-vacation in Washington's San Juan Islands, test riding the prototype of my bike-cart distillery.

This project is an experiment in electronic soundscapes and music, which is conceptually based on tectonic plates. The piece responds to various geological phenomena related to the movement of tectonic plates, and uses data from earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, which has been made audible through the process of sonification.

Project Summary: Thrifty Transformations is the research of the complex clothing industry from point of manufacturing to the after life of resale, repurposing, and discarding. Through repurposing clothes I want people to learn about recycled fashion, new ways of filtering clothes in and out their wardrobes, and how this aspect can have a positive impact on our world.

Zac Belok worked on a 10-week apprenticeship with Yozmit, performance artist / singer / songwriter / fashion designer in New York City exploring site-specific performance installation, costume design, and a new connection music to the music industry. As a result of the experience, Zac is now experimenting with dualistic performance, combining the intangible and amorphous with fundamental human emotions.
