Here is some info about the key players involved in the project:Alexa Meade is an American installation artist best known for her portraits painted directly onto the human body and inanimate objects in a way that collapses depth and makes her models appear two-dimensional when photographed.http://www.ted.com/talks/alexa_meade?language=enLil Buck is is a Los Angeles-based dancer from Memphis, Tennessee who specializes in a style of street dance called jookin'.
