About Me

Big Art Group’s David Commander orchestrates a cacophony of punk rock technology in his latest dark comedy, 'The Machine World Gospel.' Multiple cameras, projectors, and a moving set of screens create an ever-changing environment that expands and contracts between a miniature world of dolls and a relay race of ugly, self - important characters. The Machine World Gospel is set to premiere in the upcoming 2007 Philadelphia Fringe festival. Information for upcoming PIGGY 1.5 shows will also be posted here, stay tuned Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
