Peter Flemming Curriculum vitae, March 2010 www.peterflemming.ca peter@peterflemming.ca all locations Canada, unless otherwise mentioned Artist statement I see what I make as the electromechanical equivalents of short stories. Instead of words, sentences and paragraphs, I use bolts, batteries, metal and custom electronics. These machinic texts create tension by mixing natural and technological systems. My work is rooted in handson experimentation in the studio. In constructing automata that make use of subtle and/or repetitive actions I hope to open a small space for contemplation in which the audience can become temporarily absorbed.
