Glenn Kaino is an American conceptual artist based in Los Angeles. By integrating innovative methodologies with established art historical traditions, Kaino orchestrates spectacular aesthetic phenomena that engage with, and offer critical commentary on the collective contemporary consciousness. His oeuvre is omnidisciplinary. It predominantly includes sculpture, painting, filmmaking, performance, installation, and large scale public work. His practice is fundamentally idea based. As an art student in the 1990s at UC Irvine and UC San Diego, Kaino adopted a layered, philosophical approach to art making. Simultaneously, he also immersed him self in the study of computers and digital technology. His practice includes mesmerizing and substantial creations and collaborations within the internet, entertainment and communications industries.


He and Zuckerman discuss putting together things that would otherwise be irreconcilable, Jerry Adams and the spirit of the resistance, John Lewis and bloody Sundays, civil rights movements, constellation of intentions and concerns, the membrane between knowing and not knowing, that no one will believe more than you, fish tanks and post colonial politics, progressive hobbyists, where humanity lies, the natural state of war, being an art maker, creating a space for things to be considered, magic, and doing impossible things!
