Let It Bang
The past few months I’ve been collaborating with the new hip hop / synth / indie rock group PRJCTS. This music video for PRJCTS debut single “Let it Bang” is the fruit of our efforts recently. The concept for the video originated from the lyrics for “Let it Bang”, a song about brushing off the [...]
Chasing the Almighty Dollar
This project is another in a string of interactive artworks about the current condition of Americans who struggle to find the American Dream.

American Dream Machine
The American Dream Machine is an engine for visual rhetoric. This political apparatus continuously appropriates images from the public sphere, forcing the participant of the device to conform to idealized imagery presented to them.

Highway
The glow of the screen is alluring, yet it displaces me from reality. Through the artwork I make with electronics, I confront the disconnect between the perpetual advancement of technology and the erosion of the natural perceptual awareness of our immediate environment. I explore my love/hate relationship with computers, as I contend with a mediated [...]

Audiobombs Hit the Streets This Spring
The history of graffiti will reveal the political rhetoric of the oppressed through images and slogans. Indeed, the voices of many otherwise unheard have shined through the use of graffiti. Look at all the tagging of graffiti artist signatures on trains and underpasses. The graffiti image may seem ambiguous and ever changing, sometimes incomprehensible. This [...]

Rutt Etra Prototype Using Max/Jitter
Synthesized video was inspired by 1960s music synthesizers like the Moog. Early video image processing strategies “sought to subvert the traditional broadcast television image and attempted ‘to conjure up the new realities associated with hallucinogenic drugs’” (Meigh-Andrews, 112).

Meditation in Outer Space
Throughout my life, I have gained inspiration from the Night Sky. Several nights of my youth were spent laying in a field where I witnessed the subtle movement of sprawling starscape above. These were moments of contemplation, deep spiritual awakenings which spurred me to consider the relative insignificance of my own being to the ebb [...]
Technobabble
I sit still, caught in the embrace of the machine. My subconscious mind wanders into an infinite boggle of television quotes and online messages. Sometimes I babble quotes from TV to my friends, other times I am just talking to the computer. Cursing at the screen for displaying an inconsequential error, I find myself lost [...]
