Kal Spelletich, the seventh of nine children, was born in an elevator and raised in Davenport Iowa, recently named "America's Worst Place to Live." Shortly after being given a chemistry set at the age of nine, he started constructing tree houses, boats, blowing up aerosol cans, experimenting with electricity, fire and fireworks. He now lives on the waterfront of San Francisco in an industrial district where he scours junkyards and dumpsters for industrial items whose technology can be reapplied. Kal sometimes teaches at SF State University, lectures and presents workshops at schools and Universities around the US. He exhibits all over the US and Europe. His latest work involves experimenting with bio-morphic inputs that trigger machines and robots to provide viewers with a direct real-life experience.
