Collaborators

Appropriate Audiences

MORAKANA and MORAKANA members have collaborated and are part of Appropriate Audiences, the collective behind the first robotic tattoo machine. 

"WE ARE APPROPRIATE AUDIENCES, THE CREATORS OF THE FIRST ROBOTIC TATTOO MACHINE.

TOGETHER WE ARE DESIGNERS, ENGINEERS, ROBOTICISTS, ARTISTS, FILMMAKERS, PROFESSORS, TATTOO ARTISTS, PROTOTYPERS, RESEARCHERS,  PHOTOGRAPHERS, INVENTORS, AND GUINEA PIGS.

TATOUÉ.E STARTED WITH A HACKED 3D PRINTER AND A SIMPLE CIRCLE. SINCE THEN, WE CONTINUE TO CHALLENGE THE TECHNOLOGY, PERMANENTLY TRANSFERRING PIXELS INTO OUR SKIN.

FROM INDUSTRIAL ROBOT ARMS, TO ROBOTS CONTROLLED ACROSS THE ATLANTIC, WE ARE NOT INTERESTED IN REDOING WHAT HAS BEEN DONE BY HAND BUT CREATING WHAT IS POSSIBLE BEYOND IT."
