Michael Rakowitz earned a masters of science degree in visual studies from MIT in 1998.
Also in 1998 Michael Rakowitz started "paraSITE" a project which produced and distributed portable dwellings made of plastic trashbags and packaging tape. The tents which are used by the homeless in winter attach to building vents and like a parasite, exploit the energy of the host.
In 2002 Rakowitz was awarded the top prize for his inventive design in project "ParaSITE" in a competition co-orga (showing 500 of 911 characters). |
