Amos Latteier

Amos Latteier is pretty out there but I think there’s a lot we can learn about our world through Amos’s questioning and experimentation. He creates work that explores the lighter side of technology and the way we use it. He pokes fun at everything it seems, and prosthetic limbs even get a go in his books. His work examines the subtleties of DIY culture and the potential “emotionalâ€? impact of simple devices.
