machinegum is an artist’s collective comprised of Fab Moretti, Ian Devaney, Delicate Steve, Chris Egan, Martin Bonventre, and Erin Victoria Axtel that draws inspiration from involvement of the viewer/interpreter. In the hope of promoting inclusion and propagating further art in its name, all pieces integrate an element of response or interaction from the individuals witnessing it.

machinegum performed during its opening and their instruments were left at the gallery for interaction by future viewers. Audio was recorded throughout the duration of the show to be released on their website. The invitational gum ball machines were also on view. The instruments, the communal shelf and the gumball machines will be for sale.

In addition to the interview, machinegum has announced their next interactive crowd sourced video. Their upcoming "Kubes" video is looking for participants. "We will post a list of instructions on machinegum’s website for participants to follow and record on their phone cameras to possibly be included in the video for “Kubes”. This list will include everyday actions like waking up, brushing teeth, maybe a little dancing, maybe a little laughing, etc. Hopefully, by reproducing these universal commonalities, we can reinforce machinegum’s central concept of community and inclusivity."
