IMAGES (2006 - 2013)
Photo documentation from selected performances in NYC.
CINEMATIC ABJECT I (2012)
30min looping HD (excerpt)
16mm "scratch" film scanned to digital and reanimated in a continuous loop. The intentional removal of the filmic illusion and boundaries of the frame leaves a slowly-moving digital scroll.
CINEMATIC ABJECT I & 2 (2012)
UNTITLED (2011)
Ink on 16mm film leader and optoelectronic sound. Transferred to HD.
FILM STILL (2010)
Installation. Ink on film leader, copper tubing, rewind hardware, spools.
The film's original function is apparent but inaccessible..
DRAWING ON FILM (2009)
Process-drawings made, exhibited, and discarded over the course of a gallery show. The drawings are made on a simple apparatus suggesting a loom. The process is transparent and the results are immediate.
SPIN CYCLE: HORIZON I (2012)
Looping single channel HD video and sound.
A powerdrill mounted HD camera flattens and warps space as it approaches its representational and mechanical limits. All visual effects and sounds were derived from the camera apparatus itself.
SPIN CYCLE: HORIZON II (2012)
SPIN CYCLE: HORIZON III (2012)
SPIN CYCLE: HORIZON IV (2012)
DARK DETECTION - (2011)
Rephotographed Super 8 film. A modified "darkness
alarm" sound circuit alerts the viewer to areas of moving shadow.
STRIATED FIELDS I (2007)
VHS tape transfered to HD. 5min looping.
Square wave oscillation interferes with a series of cornfields (an allusion to the early history of televisual images.) The sound and interference frequencies are determined by the light emitted from the source footage.
FUTURE ARCHAEOLOGY: OHM IV (2013)
A site-specific performance environment harnessing the conductive / resistive properties of the human body to create an evolving soundscape. Premiered at SIGHT + SOUND festival 2013
FUTURE ARCHAEOLOGY: OHM (2010)
Exploring the conductive / resistive properties of graphite and the human hand, OHM transforms the Splaterpool gallery walls into interactive sonic drawings. Part of the Dead of Winter series, curated by Maria Chavez. See the full event documentary HERE
OHM II (2011)
Performance documentation. Crowd interaction is harnessed into a large-scale "human sound circuit."
Chance compositions comprised of underwater recordings taken from the East and Hudson rivers. Hydrophony brings unheard acoustic worlds to the surface - allowing the listener to experience familiar sites of recreation, travel, and industry in a new and intimate way. External site
