About UsMacro Waves is a QPOC-led California-based arts collective and creative studio composed of artists, designers, and creative technologists of color.  Macro Waves is rooted in intersectional collaboration and social practice, Macro Waves transforms spaces into platforms for community engagement, critical discourse, and collective action. Through creative technology, design, and research, the collective produces interactive experiences, exhibitions, site-specific installations, and interdisciplinary projects that explore community care and future world-building.
Mission &#38;amp; Vision

Their work is guided by the principles of social equity and collective resilience. As a project-based collective, Macro Waves develops works that are responsive to the present moment—examining social issues that impact marginalized communities. Recent projects have explored themes such as immigration, the impact of emerging technologies on communities of color, intergenerational experiences, and practices of collective care. Macro Waves views creative collaboration as a critical pedagogy within its artistic praxis. Collaboration functions as both process and outcome, creating opportunities to gather, share knowledge, and cultivate innovation beyond the individual. Through this approach, the collective uses the creative process as a tool for social transformation.

A core element of Macro Waves’ work is public programming and community-engaged projects. The collective collaborates with culture bearers, community organizers, and visionary thinkers who are actively shaping more just and liberated futures. These partnerships are built on mutual respect and intentionality, ensuring that community experts co-design public programs that are rooted in authenticity and shared values.
History

Macro Waves emerged from the lack of people of color in art and technology spaces, and from a longing for community within an industry that often rewards individualism over interdependence. Founded in 2015 by Robin Birdd David and Jeffrey Yip, Macro Waves formed as a platform to built immersive experiences through creative technologies, crafting environments where collaboration could thrive. Over time, the collective realized the true immersion was never in the technology itself but in the people, the communities whose stories, visions, and resistance shape every project we create.

	Home Without BordersCommunity Engagement Exhibition 
Gray AreaSan Francisco, CA2025
Clay + 3D scanning workshop, ICE Protection workshop, live performance, and exhibition
As a result of the billions of dollars spent on surveillance technology for the United States Immigration under the Trump administration, there has been an increase in mass deportations. Tensions are high as raids continue to escalate both in the Bay Area and around the country. Macro Waves explains: "As we focus our attention on the ways that ICE uses technology to detain, deport, and surveil, we must continue to uplift each other as a form of resistance."In response, Home Without Borders&#38;nbsp;is a collaborative community art project that encourages intersectional resistance. By celebrating immigrants, refugees, and asylum seekers through shared stories, performance, and workshops, this project pays tribute to the resilience of immigrant communities and their contributions to the San Francisco Bay Area.Commissioned by SF Arts Commission as part of the city-wide Shaping Legacy initiative in partnership with Gray Area, this exhibit brought a new hybrid physical/digital monument to life through the direct creative contributions of community members.&#38;nbsp;
Workshops:
Sunday, August 3, 1 – 4 PMClay-making and 3D scanning workshop guided by visual artist Victor Saucedo. Participants will create their own monuments and memorials that will be scanned, uploaded, and then placed into a virtual environment.Thursday, August 14
• 4 – 6 PM: Digital Security &#38;amp; ICE Protection WorkshopIn response to state surveillance and deportation raids in California, we partnered with Turner Willman of 18 Million Rising to lead digital safety workshops for frontline communities, offering practical tools for resisting ICE monitoring. Initiatives like this advance socially engaged art by transforming pedagogy into practice—empowering marginalized groups and activating creative resistance. 7 PM: Performance by Truc Nguyen, a&#38;nbsp;Vietnamese queer artist, who performed an audiovisual piece of an intergenerational story, blending a refugee's past with their child’s first time visiting their motherland.

Reworlding the Unimaginable draws connections between big tech and the global impact of modern-day technology while highlighting ongoing work to create alternative futures. This project goes beyond the influence of science fiction-based themes of future dystopian and utopian narratives and platforms future world builders of today. Reworlding the Unimaginable challenges the myth of technological solutionism (Tech will save us) by examining the militarized history of the tech industry and exposing its deeply intertwined relationship to community destabilization, digital colonialism, and late capitalism.
Reworlding the Unimaginable focuses on cultural workers, disruptors, activists, and organizers who are radically reimagining the world through their current praxis as a foundation for fighting oppressive systems and envisioning a world that prioritizes people over profit. Through a research-based approach to art making, Macro Waves invites the community to collaborate on an interactive installation that weaves together technology’s connections to war, labor movement uprisings, technological advancements, and environmental climate catastrophes while highlighting tech justice activists,&#38;nbsp; paving the way for alternative futures. Reworlding the Unimaginable zooms in on present-day visionaries designing solutions and building for a future world that centers collective liberation and freedom over profit as a way to challenge the status quo and propel us toward a more equitable and sustainable future. During the duration of this project, Macro Waves invites viewers to add to the installation and will host a series of world-builder teach-ins and discussions focusing on alternative futures.

	Make This Last ForeverRecology Artist in ResidencySan Francisco, CA2023
Summer long artist residency at San Francisco’s Recology
Macro Waves (Robin Birdd David &#38;amp; Jeffrey Yip) utilizes the framework of archiving to make sense of the intergenerational stories of movement and transition held in the objects we inherit–whether the things passed down directly by immigrant elders or our collective responsibility to contend with the growing mass of consumer waste.

Who is responsible for your things after you’re gone? And how do we honor and contend with the belongings of previous generations–especially when they’ve felt the need to hold onto everything as a means of survival? Macro Waves embraces the spirit of collection, reuse, and repair passed down to them as they seek out the memories and sentimentality of the objects they’ve gathered from the Public Reuse and Recycling Area. Along with cataloging a growing repository of 3D scans they’ve made of their accumulated objects, the artists interviewed San Francisco residents about their experiences managing the stuff they’ve had to sift through from their elders and how this has shaped the interviewees’ relationships to their own belongings.

Throughout the exhibition, e-waste generations too boxy and out of date–signal boosters, an AM radio, stacks of video screens–have been resuscitated to transmit and display the gathered interviews and digital archive of objects. This presentation of inherited objects and current day stories plays with our sense of time: talking backwards to earlier generations and our younger selves, as well as into the future. The crackly grain to this obsolete technology is a feature, not a bug. This is not seamless, high def precision. The artifacts that emerge from this passage of information from one generation to another–people and technology–gives each iteration its own sensibility.

This generative refiguration also manifests in other sculptural pieces, where materials like rice bags, recycled plastic takeaway containers, and colorful reusable shopping bags are remixed into sails for model boats, a lamp stand, or the backing of a folding chair. New artistic gestures live alongside and within found objects, infused with care and inherited knowledge.

“Self-care,” a terminology turned lifestyle that became increasingly more popular during the start of the pandemic, has grown into a multi-billion-dollar industry. Co-opted by big corporate media for profit, many of us find ourselves in search of care, only to be fed algorithmic advertisements for subscription meditation apps, AI therapists, and social media influencers promoting corporate wellness programs. But how did the term self-care make its way into American culture? The term self-care was integrated into medical ethics teachings in the 1950s by primarily western psychiatric hospitals for institutionalized patients and was later expanded upon by the Black Panther Party during the Civil Rights Movement, with a focus on community care. The Black Panthers understood the critical role that community care played for the rights of Black and marginalized communities, seen through the many resources they organized, including free medical care, food security, childcare, and elderly safety programs. Today, through late-stage capitalism, self-care has transformed into a commodity that is consumed for profit and further perpetuates productivity culture.&#38;nbsp; 

In response to our collective experiences navigating the ongoing global pandemic, Macro Waves reimagines a future that centers healing through community care.&#38;nbsp; As we have re-emerged from shelter-in-place, back to the hustle of in-person life, how do we pause and re-gather what we have collectively experienced? The notion of collective care has been practiced by non-Western communities for generations before self-care found its way into American culture. How can we become critical of the rhetoric around care when it is being used for profit? While caring for the self is fundamental to our collective well-being, when does the term self-care cause more harm than good?

Macro Waves dives deeper into the practice of care through, Collective Futures, a multimedia art experience and collective space that focuses on the act of re-gathering, the point of re-entry, and the process of collective transformation. Through a multi-sensory installation and a series of collaborative healing-based workshops and performances, this project challenges our perceptions of individual experiences and transforms them into a shared process. Collective Futures invites viewers to re-gather through a multimedia-based interactive installation that utilizes haptic vibrational technology, known to invoke relaxation and alleviate stress. Visitors are welcome to collectively pause by sitting, laying, sharing, and interacting with the vibrating tactile installation while listening to accompanying audio that synchronizes with each vibration. The vibrations offer a holistic experience uniting the senses of touch, sight, and sound. By cultivating a collaborative culture of exploration, inquiry, and play within the healing process, this multimedia art experience will also act as a workshop space for collaborators to facilitate alternative healing modalities focused on sound, breathwork, meditation, and intergenerational wellness practices.

	Flora 5000

SFMOMA Soapbox Derby&#38;nbsp;McLaren Park, San Francisco, CA2022

Flora 5000 is an inflatable vehicle from a post-apocalyptic future when planet earth is no longer habitable for plant life due to global warming. Macro Waves, a team of mad botanists, travels back to earth in the Flora 5000 on a mission to repopulate the planet with plant life. Flora 5000 serves as a traveling greenhouse preservation robot, scaling the globe, conserving plant species and seed life, and aiding in the earth's reforestation.SFMOMA’s Soapbox Derby returned to McLaren Park for the first time in more than 40 years! The original artists’ derbies from the 1970s are legendary events in our history. Between the two races in 1975 and 1978, the museum commissioned cars and trophies from more than 200 artists — including Ruth Asawa, Robert Arneson, Ant Farm, Viola Frey, Mike Henderson, Mary Lovelace O’Neal, Richard Shaw, and Carlos Villa — and thousands gathered to watch the races unfold.

	A Cinematic Schematic of Chinatown Resilience

Representing Chinatown Group Exhibit co-curated with the Center for Asian American Media and SFMOMA
SFMOMA, Koret Education Center
Interactive Mural / 38 ft x 10 ft
2022

A Cinematic Schematic of Chinatown Resilience is an interactive mural commissioned by SFMOMA’s Koret Education Center that honors intergenerational experiences and Pan-Asian solidarity within and around San Francisco’s Chinatown. By examining a selection of independent films presented by The Center for Asian American Media (CAAM) over the past 40 years, this mural weaves together images and movements of resiliency captured through the lens of joy, intergenerational stories, placemaking, and community building.
This work celebrates the role of cinematography in archiving histories, reframing our narratives, and shaping our own cultural identities as a collective diaspora. This mural utilizes interactive sensor-reactive technology to activate specific thematic areas of design across the span of the mural. Visitors can hover their hands over specified areas and experience Chinatown through audio-visual content. When the sensor gets triggered, colored spotlights slowly highlight areas of the mural, activating background audio and immersing visitors in archival sounds that built the foundation of what Chinatown is today. 
This mural pays tribute to the legacy of cinematic accomplishments across the selected films presented in this mural. Visitors are encouraged to experience the following films in the original format:


Forever Chinatown, James Q. ChanChinatown Shorts: You Are Here, James Q. ChanFall of the I-Hotel, Curtis Choy
Chinatown Rising, Josh, and Harry Chuck
Chinatown, Felicia Lowe
