About Machine Dazzle
For nearly two decades, Machine Dazzle has been producing spectacular costumes, sets, installations, and performances that transfix audiences with a queer maximalist kaleidoscope. His newly commissioned sculptural work, Ouroboros, fills UMMA’s 1,200-square-foot Stenn Gallery, with the artist expanding, transforming, and activating aspects of the installation during the exhibition’s six-month run. The evolving installation includes a soundscape produced by playing instruments made from found objects underwater and eventually becomes a dynamic wearable that 12 performers will activate.
