Huber Dobler is an artist who defines himself at the intersection of technology and art. His work revolves around chaos, using "masculine tools" like motorcycles, chainsaws, and concrete percussion, recording the traces these machines generate when allowed to exist outside their conventional realm, disassembling and reorganizing objects out of context.
He examines the visceral emotions and connections that the viewer can experience when machines are abandoned, yet used and functioning on their own, free from constraints. Roaring, jerking, and colliding, his machines highlight the power and energy trapped within everyday technology. He shows the raw power and free spirit inherent in engines and machinery.
ROUNDABOUT2 is an exploration of kinetic objects. Two motorcycles are tethered together in a circle, facing each other. Like caged animals, the motorcycles are displayed, performing their trick on repeat. Spinning wildly, the throttles are wide open, and the motorcycles release all their accumulated energy in one space, creating burnt tire marks.
