L05, also known as Carlos Garcia, is a member of the Detroit based collective, Complex Movements, a group that aims to address social justice issues through multimedia performance art. Their current project “Beware of Dandelions” is a mobile art installation made up of a 400 square foot dome like structure. Viewers go inside the dome as the piece, which combines performance, hip hop, and generative design. This piece seeks to communicate about community organization, function as an oral history archive and as performance art. I was interested in Complex Movement’s work because of the approach Beware of Dandelions took to local social justice, turning it into an artistic attraction that allows visitors and locals to engage in the issue in a captivating manner.
