Taylor Hokanson

Taylor Hokanson is an Assistant Professor of Art at Oakland University in Detroit. His art practice uses technology as material to address technology as concept. The presence of altered or hacked electronics, such that their operation is impeded, is a common theme in his work (see the Sledgehammer-operated Keyboard, for example). Hokanson also works in conjunction with The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where he performs research into computer-aided fabrication and education.
