Hot Wired has been displayed in 2017 at the Google headquarters in Manhattan. Challenging the Google employees to break away from the computer screen and indulge in raw material, the woven painting pays homage to the original computer programming that was first created from a jacquard loom. This piece was also recognized by dance choreographer Roberto Lara, inspiring him to create a dance performance for the Louise Nevelson-designed Saint Peter’s Lutheran Church in New York.
