KT Cappellini made the photos comprising his Artomatic exhibit, "Ain't that America" in July of 2005. As usual, he brought a camera along while on a writing assignment at the Little Sturgis Biker Rally in eastern Kentucky. The result was a collection of bold images that capture the America of John Mellencamp songs with its pants down, an orgy of sex-and-speed-crazed consumption that only a group of 28,000 Americans from the Heartland could pull off.

KT spent two years in Berlin, Germany, where he worked as an associate editor/staff writer for EXBERLINER magazine, Berlin’s only English-language city paper. As the Berlin correspondent for THE FACE, one of the UK’s foremost fashion and lifestyle magazines, he tangled with Berlin's edgy street-couture set.

KT has also lived and worked in Italy, the Balkans, and traveled extensively throughout the U.S. His ongoing journalistic interests include political protest, the biker image, and the end of civilization as we know it.

KT currently resides in Washington, DC, where he's a producer for ARD German Television, the largest broadcaster in Europe. Prior to that, he produced for Fox Television on the show America's Most Wanted. In September and October 2005, he spent a very long two months in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas covering Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.
