Early days : Eno One was an 80’s/90’s kid who got into graffiti for the girls and the beef. Brooklyn had no shortage of crews, EVERY neighborhood, down to individual parks had individual crews. A Mos Def lyric comes to mind “.. I’m from Brooklyn, certain shit you just don’t do. Like, high postin when you far from home. Or like, high postin when you all alone.” Bombing faraway blocks with my partner KS One, always got the adrenaline pumping. ‘Let’s paint’ was a call to action you couldn’t say no to. I’ve got good memories from the late night creep with a jansport full of paint, quarter waters & white cheddar popcorn, and taking the D train or KS’s inherited 60’s Catalina. From Coney Island to East New York to Manhattan and Queens. We were about getting up, somewhere along the lines, i start to see the art in it. An obsession started to set in. Link to Mos Def’s ‘Got’.
Video art and projections : I was also a computer nerd at a time when the video industry was going through a revolution, from analog to video.. and all the rules were changing. During a skills vacuum while the og’s were on the way out, and non-linear editing was just beginning to become viable, I was in the right place and the right time to apply those graffiti sensibilities to video sculpture. I was playing video clips, live, like a music instrument from my Commodore Amiga’s. I was also layer David Carson style texture and typographic grunge in a little piece of software called Cosa After Effects. I had all of Peter Gatiens’ nightclubs locked down during a 90’s golden age of NY nightlife. This would lead to working with David Bowie, Ornette Coleman, and Cocorosie to name a few.
Digital Fabrication: I was hanging at NYC Resistor (a Brooklyn based hackerspace) when the first desktop 3d printer was being created and happy to have had my fingerprints on it. That would be the Cupcake by Makerbot. I started doing 3D slaps on that printer way early. The average schmoe had no idea what 3d printing was. I later got into all form of digital fabrication using laser cutting, waterjets, CNC, resin printing, and mold making to create Eno slaps.
