Check out Mark’s listing in Baltimore Style Magazine’s event guide:
http://baltimorestyle.com/occasion/mark-sanders-opening-reception-at-the-alchemy-of-art/

“The Resurgence Array is a bio-responsive communications apparatus designed to receive and transmit cognizant and subconscious energy patterns.  Its proto-animate components are intuitively configured to mingle and amplify these disparate patterns into semi-cohesive waves of emotive force.  Resonators, oscillators, transceivers and other reclamation circuitries work in improvised concert to clarify and scramble shifting constructs of experience and channel the amalgam through the main convector. Participants will contribute their unique coding with unpredictable yet notable results.

This experimental macro-device will remain assembled for one month.”
