Dzine has worked for years straddling the boundary between art and music and continues to collaborate with an international roster of DJs and musicians. Reflecting on his custom vehicles, dating back to 2007, he stated: “I made a customized bike for the Brooklyn Museum show with the video screening on it. Then that got me thinking about my parent’s generation and the Puerto Rican diaspora, which inspired a custom boat with laser lights and a sound system . . . that was the beginning of my custom position. Then I discovered a whole culture of people making these costly creations that didn’t really do it for money. They’re driven by passion, which reminded me of why I wanted to be an artist in the first place.” In addition to low-rider bicycles and the speedboat, Dzine has customized a cycle rickshaw and cars.
