Welcome Megatron 2005 This film is a fiction developed around the ideas of a few local urban legends surrounding the Kansas City Art Institute: a once disturbed ancient Native American burial ground, a former student who committed sucide after living as a serial killer, and the fact that a summer class taken at KCAI was the only formal education Walt Disney had. There are stories of some sort of spooky triangle surrounding the school. None of the legends involve Walt Disney, that was my angle.

Welcome Megatron references not only evil via the Transformers reference, but I also found references for both "mega" and "tron" online with regard to particle physics. Particle physics research is what leads to time travel... time travel seems like the ultimate sort of mystical portal (in regards to scientific potential), no?

The film assumes that I, the main character welcomes a new existential perception because of being placed within the aforementioned triangle and is thus transformed. Pun intended.

Plastic in my work serves two purposes... materially it references the transformation of consumable products into the poetic, the Latin-American Plastic Arts. It also serves to reference the plasticity of the mind. This is the term used when Neurons "learn" to receive chemicals from Neurotransmitters they were not "connecting" with before.

Plasticity is the ability of the brain to reorganize neural pathways based on new experiences. Action changes brain chemistry which changes perception.

Dolls in my work not only reference childhood and play but also complacency. They also stand as markers for action as symbolic gesture; creating change of both perception and the perceived tangible.
