Meanders Into Nonesuch Place
Rogers' practice is situated where idealism and actuality meet; at the point that imagined solutions come up against unavoidable practicality. Often this method of working concerns itself with hybrids between historical research, traditional techniques, and digital technologies. Recently, his interests have been focused on perpetual motion devices, particularly those built by the eccentric Czech explorer and inventor Jan Welzl.
