Artwork description
Brito Farm Tractor is a revolving, levitating, sculptural, Farmall tractor iconic of American farming before the advent of Big Agriculture. This 3D model used in several Revolutions Generator WebAR apps was produced from a hand-held scan of the actual tractor that serviced the Brito Family Farm in Presidio, Texas. The tractor helped harvest crops along the U.S./Mexico hinge, and was used for other farm-related purposes, such as ferrying water tanks and escorting inebriated community members.

Revolutions Generators is an ongoing collaboration between artists Ismael de Anda III and Eugene Ahn. The project investigates notions of territorialization/ re-territorialization/ de-territorialization by intersecting imagery, memory, and data expressive of the U.S./Mexico Gateway, where de Anda was raised, with interactive media created by Ahn.
