MICHAEL PAGE, Curator

Michael Page, who grew up in North Park and Kearny Mesa, California, was still a teen when he joined the King Biscuit Blues Band and the Fly People. He then formed a group called Ruby and the Snakes. While in L.A. he met Iggy Pop and eventually became lifelong friends. Succeeding a stellar and colorful career in rock, Passmore Lab hired Michael to initiate and oversee 3D projects. Page says “We teamed up with rock photographer Bob Gruen, to convert his well-known iconic images to a format that can be viewed on stereoscopic displays.” PassmoreLab uses state-of-the-art computer science to create artistic visual concepts for business and entertainment. Michael has been overseeing projects at The Creative Technology Center at the Brewery Arts Center in downtown Los Angeles since before 2011. His contribution to the CTC team is impossible to measure as his unique relationship-approach to business (and life) attracts people in all walks of business, entertainment and technology. It seems that everyone who encounters Michael wants to hear his story and to get to know him. Michael is always happy to share.
