Inspired by the Arnold Schwarzenegger movie of the same name, The Predator, a 30-foot-wide, 10-foot-high vacuformed and painted plastic structure, is a voluptuous painting/architecture mutant hybrid. The alien-organism-as-architecture was designed digitally with animation software and then manufactured with computer-assisted processes and is accompanied by a custom music mix by DJ Spooky. Both innovators in their fields, Fabian Marcaccio is an Argentine painter living in New York and Greg Lynn practices in Los Angeles. The Predator was created at and for the Wexner Center for the Arts at The Ohio State University.
