Sound from “Rambler” by Nevin.
Jason Eppink was originally trained as a filmmaker in Los Angeles though he quickly realized following this path would have him running coffee for the next few years before doing anything mildly creative. And Jason doesn’t know the first thing about coffee. After hosting a long-running public access television show, finishing a few art films, and dabbling in viral video, he finally just gave in to this whole Art thing.
Informed by his years in film, as well as an interest in programming and the open source movement (where applicable, he distributes his own source code) Jason likes to engage the public with victimless pranks, street art, and interactive sculpture. As a result, much of his recent work falls somewhere in the gray area between art, prank, and activism. Really, Jason just likes to think he is a dude who is making things a little better.
When he’s not doing whatever it is you call what he’s doing, Jason serves as a curator at a museum in New York City that doesn’t want to be publicly associated with any of his mischief.
