Artist Debra Scacco was working on an art project about the LA River when she visited “LACI” (Los Angeles Clean Technology Incubator), and was struck by the facilities’ impressive list of equipment, including laser cutters, a horizontal band saw and a vacuum oven. Tools that are rarely available for an artist. She saw an opportunity for exchange, between the people working with various starts up on green initiatives at LACI and artists that work with climate related themes. She founded AIR LACI, an artist-in-residency program open for research lead L.A. based artists. We talk about this special program, that perhaps is more of a fellowship than a residency.
