Maddy Weaver and Charles Tuttle are multidisciplinary artists who met while working at Meow Wolf in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Together, they blend their backgrounds in technology, sculpture, and sound design to create immersive, kinetic installations. Maddy and Charles’s experience in electrical and mechanical engineering allow them to reimagine everyday objects as instruments of sound and light. Their collaborative work emphasizes sustainability by repurposing discarded materials into new, expressive forms, challenging audiences to see the hidden potential in e-waste.
