Currently I’ve teamed up with Justin Hossle to compete for public art commission. We apply for three commission and won all three. We have several more in the pipeline. I see this effort as building a Public Art Collab.” Lisa Roy has joined us in the Sky Box” commission and the pending Invasive Art Tails” project. We hope to be adding new people as the need arises. In all these endeavors I am a conceptualist at heart, in so far as the idea is paramount and usually drives the artistic inquiry. Marcel DuChamp is my favorite artist. I have always been a public person. At various stages of my life I find myself gathering people in the pursuit of a noble cause. This comes naturally out of my optimism and belief that we are at our best when working together. Now entering into my mid 70’s I can look back on a rich and varied career. Scroll down this page to get a sense of all that I’ve accomplish. When I’m in my studio, my door is always open. Come by for a chat. I’m on the first floor of the California Building by the loading dock. Career Timeline Eden Prairie Grass Our third public-art commission was installed July 31, 2023. Cattails in Richfield This is the second collaboration with Justin Hossle. You can see them from the Home Depot parking lot in Richfield, MN. Urban Ties Installed This is Justin Hossle & Remo Campopiano’s first collaborative venture in Public Art. Truth Series The first exhibition of the Truth Series was in the California Building during the 2018 Art-A-Whirl. Self-balancing Artbots The first successful performance of our two-wheel self-balancing artbots was at the Mini Maker Fair in 2017. Our second was at the Bloomington PlaceMaker Festival. Time Machine For the 2016 Body & Machine show I built and exhibited the Time Machine.” This is part of a series of pieces that are premised on a lie, or at least mislead to get at a deeper truth. Started XYZ Club The club began in Brian Boldon’s studio as a way to share our experience in building the XYZ Machine. It later grew into a robotics art club. Brian Bolden Studios In January of 1914 I was invited to work in the Studio of Brain Boldon and Amy Baur where I helped bring the latest technology to their glass and ceramics studio. Artbots Columbia In the spring of 2004 I built 3 robotic cars that were driven by live mice. It was accepted into the Artbots competition sponsored by Columbia University in NYC. I do not seem to have images of this really fun show. Providence Star This was a proposal to the city of Providence, that never actually got proposed. It seems the mayor was in jail at the time. Providence Star is a large-scale public art project. It is designed to identify the capitol city of Rhode Island from the air at night. It is a series of 60 blue lights that simultaneously pulse every 10 seconds. Eight-bit Ant Farm Eight-Bit Ant Farm is a three-way collaboration between myself, Guy Marsden and Jonathan Schull. This interactive multimedia sculpture deals with issues of Complexity Theory. More specifically, it explores self-referential semi-autonomous adaptive systems. Dorky Museum 2002 Panel Discussion, on Complexity, Dorky Museum Convergence 2002 For the 2002 Convergence Arts Festival, the Robotics Art Club had a whole new robot to perform–a 50-foot pink serpent that we remote controlled up and down the providence river. It working quit well until someone ran it under the city. We had to ask for help to rescue it. After an hour and a half the serpent was found and brought back under our control. Retrospective In 2002 I was given a one-person show at the Bannister Gallery at Rhode Island College. Here I exhibited everything I was working on at the time: a portion of Under the Volcano was painted black, and re-purposed as Circuit City; an example of the Waterspiders; and a new installation entitled Video Studio for Insects was create specifically for this exhibition. Circuit City Here a portion of Under the Volcano is re-purposed and entitled Circuit City. Painted black and hung on a wall the cut-up circuit boards made an impressive installation on it’s own merits. WaterSpiders in Cambridge The WaterSpiders’ first performance was in Cambridge, MA at the Cambridge Galeria. This public art project is the first evolution of a troupe...
