Art | technologY | Disability
M Eilo is an artist and the founder of BlinkPopShift, a Bay Area nonprofit that uses art and technology to prove disability is a hot bed of innovation. Using a collage of physical and virtual materials they build prosthetics, archives, models, and portraits to experiment with disabled lived experience.
M is best known for their computational prosthetics including Prosthetic Memory, a homemade AI built to offset the artists long term memory loss, Masking Machine, a wearable computer which automatically masks the artists face and simulates eye contact in social interactions, and Invisible Sculpture, an AR and performance piece used to show a monumental scale sculpture to museum visitors...uninvited.
