BTW: the video has nothing to do with the actual piece


sUPERIORbelly (Blair 'DIAL.81' French, Ka Ino, Tom Pyrzewski) is a collaborative of professionals working collectively and individually to produce art, design and music. The collective was established in 1999 by Zak Ostrowski and Thomas Pyrzewski, and Blair French (Dial 81) joined to complete the group in 2006. The sUPERIORbelly alias was originally derived from the omohyoid - a muscle situated in the front of the neck. The unusual paring of words reflected the initial artist / designer duality, and over time became synonymous with the artists intellectual approach and output, much like the use of DADA. Ten years later this reference to biology is fitting, as the their identity continues to evolve and encompass new areas of interest. Aside from a record label and clothing line, the belly and its growing members specialize in everything from sculpture and performance art to brand identity and environmental signage.
