All pieces from the Seattle show are available for viewing/purchase here!

“Thought Processor leads a mostly sentient existence. It is available to bounce ideas off of, also has been known to just float and listen. Beware! Don’t try to play mind games! For it ALSO has been known to cause brainstorms. Or worst yet, roll all over you and your stuff with its think tank.” – PHONETICONTROL

Eric “PHONETICONTROL” Broers is the robot-friendly artist out of San Francisco who created the “Thought Processor” character and subsequently, the traveling exhibition. He collaborated with artist Sjors Trimbach, who designed the template for the paper sculpture.
For the Seattle show over 15 local artists were asked to use digital media to create their own Thought Processor colorway, which came to life as it was folded into a 3D robot. All of the colorways are available for free download at www.phoneticontrol.com. Print out and assemble your own Thought Processor! Each artist has also created an accompanying 2D piece of art for the exhibit.
Thought Processor is focusing on collaboration one city at a time, showcasing local artists in their respective cities at local galleries. The tour thus far includes San Francisco www.super7store.com , Los Angeles www.munkyking.com, Chicago www.ohnodoom.com, Seattle urbanlightstudios.com / halogengallery.com, New York www.myplasticheart.com, and Manilla. More are being added all the time.

“THO PRO” is designed by PHONETICONTROL and sculpted by Sjors Trimbach

new painting in my shop tonight

wow what happened? how is it december already?
things are happening… we just moved… and we are closing the gallery. at least for now. we’ll see what happens. it was a tough decision, but will be so nice to have more time to focus on other things. So since i can’t work upstairs at the gallery anymore, we have a larger place where i can work at home… it has a great view of the sound! it’s so amazing. Things are still in boxes and we need to get storage options set up, but i just love the afternoon light :) check it out:

happy december!

things are pretty hectic now… getting ready for our last opening of the year. And at 2316… we’ve decided to shut down halogen… at least for awhile. Time for a break and some new adventures. It’s bittersweet… excited at the possibilty of more time to spend on other things, but we’ve had a lot of fun putting together shows and met a lot of great people. We’ll probably still be putting on a couple random shows in other spaces next year – and who knows… maybe halogen will be back someday…
