Wade Marynowsky spent a month at AUT as a ST PAUL St, CoLab artist in residence. During this time he collected obsolete technology and trash from around Auckland and combined these objects to create a choreography of machines, sound and light, activated through the intervention of digital technology.

Bricolage Disco straddles both theatre and 'live art' or 'performative media', causing technology to perform within a system and set of parameters that allow the work to continually unfold and evolve. Bricolage here refers to the construction or creation of a work from a diverse range of things that happen to be available, or a work created by such a process. Disco is presented through the autonomous 'performance' of the sound and light instruments and via a spinning guitar mirror ball made from smashed mirrors.
