– Adrian Martin Steve Fagin is an American artist and former professor of Visual Arts at the University of California, San Diego. He has produced a series of feature length videos, including "The Amazing Voyage of Gustave Flaubert and Raymond Roussel," "The Machine That Killed Bad People" and "TropiCola" (the latter produced in collaboration with some of the most important theatre actors and producers in Havana).
