Dis-ARMOUR-Machine

An Afrofuturist biomechanical suit of armor—3D-printed from recycled materials in my solar-powered Los Angeles community earthship—a symbol that transforms protest, poetry, and performance into a living act of resistance and visibility.

Off-grid development

I have developed Dis-ARMOUR-Machine off grid at ExtraTerraceTrill, my solar-powered community earthship and microstudio in Los Angeles. The armor is 3D printed from recycled materials.

Grants & support

Dis-ARMOUR-Machine has received grants from the LACE Lightning Fund and Chamber Arts.

Supported by the LACE Lightning Fund, funded by The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, and by Chamber Arts.

Eclipsatrix & Dentaxuvia

Building off multiple past works, including ECLIPSATRIX, which was my 3D printed helmet, breastplate, AR filter, and performance work created for the Athens Biennale…

…and expanding from my REDCAT NOW Festival performance, Dentaxuvia where I fabricated additional 3D printed works, and mastered locomotion in custom fabricated mechanical stilts. (Which is a skill this project utilizes.)

Next steps

  • Printing it at ExtraTerraceTrill 🌞
  • Activations at parks, gatherings, protests, LA City Hall
  • Creating AR so anyone may try on the armor
  • QR code posters
  • An interactive website and 3D game

04 / POETRY

Disarm Our Machine,
and farm the serene.

The swarm is the queen!
Alarming scream at extraction obscene.

Inform magazines: your norms form guillotines!
My dream subroutines fight your scene of extremes.

Stay firm, opaline. Confirm, intervene.
Feminine new regimes,
You ought to restore esteems.

— Huntrezz Janos, Dis-ARMOUR-Machine
