A Collaboration between
NAKAOCHIAI GALLERY in Tokyo
and TRIPLE BASE STUDIO in San Francisco

Instant Drawing Machine(IDM) integrates art into daily life, and is designed to challenge the boundary that divides the seer from the seen. On IDM, the artists CRUST and DIRT broadcast live from their San Francisco studio and engage viewers globally using the Internet and a Web-cam by instantly drawing their dreams. IDM was created by Oliver Halsman Rosenberg and Clint Taniguchi, who have been working collaboratively as CRUST and DIRT on a variety of community based projects since 2003. IDM developed out of the desire and opportunity for Taniguchi to use Web-cam technology to communicate with gallery visitors at the Nakaochiai Gallery in Tokyo. Since its gallery debut, Julia Barnes has taken IDM to the streets of Tokyo and Shanghai. Coordinating with CRUST and DIRT, Barnes has taken on the mission of sharing IDM with communities around the world. For more information
