Garnet Hertz
Garnet Hertz (born 1973) is a Canadian artist and academic.[1] Hertz is known for his electronic artworks and for his research in the area of critical making.[2][3][4]
Work
Hertz is known for robotic artworks that are a synthesis of living insects and electronic machinery. His Cockroach Controlled Mobile Robot (2007) uses a giant Madagascan cockroach to control a robot that moves through the gallery space.[5][6][7][8] In his 2001 work Dead Fly with Implanted Web Server, viewers of a specific URL browsed web pages served from inside a biological organism.[9][10][11]
Several of his works involve the repurposing of obsolete media technologies.[12][13] His work Outrun turned a video game cabinet into a street-driveable vehicle.[14][15] As the vehicle is driven, it converts the a camera view of the real street into an 8-bit video screen view that the driver uses to navigate.[16][17][18]
