From 1970 to 1972,  I began meeting with fellow student artists in Los Angeles who were interested in technology. We met with some scientists from Caltech. Later, one of the members, David McDermott, worked on a mylar dome project that went to the Osaka World’s Fair, which I attended.

In 1977 and 1990 to 1992, I worked with the Exploratorium in San Francisco on two projects, one of which involved the Friendship Acrobatic Troupe as part of a traveling exhibition that toured several European countries. I studied art at UCLA from 1959 to 1967, with a one-year stint at the Folkwang-Hochschule in 1964–1965.
