He met Lucero while they were completing their MFA from the California Institute of the Arts.

Web. 25 March. 2014. 〕 The collective is dedicated to developing original creative content, bridging between fine art and mainstream media.〔 The group draws inspiration from television, film, video, and the Internet.〔''(Singapore Biennale 2011 Open House. )'' Singapore: Singapore Art Museum, 2011.

Print.〕 They make large-scale collaborative projects in new media, from online viral campaigns, international film productions, television commercials, to art installations, and everything in between, taking a special interest in multimedia and mass communication.〔 The collective employs strategies from advertising, marketing, and the rarefied forms of commodity exchange and display that take place in galleries and museums. Their medium and Vietnam are frequently their subjects.〔 They use mass media as a platform to combine seemingly contradictory phenomena: advertising and politics, history and future, and public and private.〔 They often push their work back into the public sphere, using commodities as a form of public art. The collective cites graffiti as a source of influence, as seen in their documentary ''Spray It Don't Say It (''2006), which follows the evolution of graffiti in Vietnam.〔〔Mehta, Diane. ("The Propeller Group." ) ''BOMB Magazine''. BOMB, 21 February 2013. Web. 25 Mar. 2014. 〕 The influence of graffiti is also present in ''Television Commercial for Communism ''(2011), drawing inspiration from the COST REVS tag, which mixes identity with advertising and branding and takes advantage of the public space.〔〔Brooks, Katherine.
