Exploding Trees Processing Sketch
This sketch was meant to go in a show but never made it in. The colors of the ‘blasts’ changed as participants interacted with the exhibit.Exploding Trees
Also intended on using this as projection for a live ‘band’ performance where the instuments would control how the ‘tree’ self reproduces and the color of the circle ‘blasts’.
This Sketch was based on L-systems by Jer Thorp at http://www.blprnt.com/
plastic_space/ or une piniperie des artes plastique ..
an online centre for “open source” collaboration, networked intervention and creative development.
ideas, actual works and theory were catalogued in 6 different fields which origionaly had no name or set criteria. s the space developed, the different creative cultures became cross-polinated, blending and reapropriating different concepts from different practitioners.http://revolvopublika.blogspot.com/

Conversations with Information
15 minute film about a meeting and exchange of information. This was shot on VHS, digitized and edited with Adobe Premiere 1.0 on a G3.–>Click Here For ‘The Exchange’ Quicktime Video PopUp<--
This film is about information ‘exchanges’. The information is represented by ‘painted boxes’. The main character goes through a series of doorways and halls. He must pass through a system ‘gate’ represented by a ‘receptionist’. He is then able to make contact with whom he is to exchange a series of information.
This film is representative of a computer user and how a computer user exchanges information with the system OR another individual over the network. It is a metaphor for this a single informational exchange instance.
The sound is ‘static’, representative computer static as though one was ‘in the machine’. Voices are left silent as though participants speak only in ‘data’.
The film is Black and White. The boxes that are representative of ‘information’ are in color. This was accomplished frame-by-frame with photoshop and premiere. ]]>

Princeton researchers demonstrate exactly how to undetectably hack a Diebold AccuVote TS voting machine in a matter of minutes.
Conflicting bodies wrapped in canvas fabric bags.
This is a performance based work that was recorded via VHS tape. The music was recorded prior to the performance and ‘broadcast’ via a speaker system throughout the work.–>Click Here For ‘Bags’ Video PopUp<--
Two large, adult sized canvas bags were sewn. Two individuals got in the bags and were ‘tied’ in for one hour. Floor space was limited to the camera view. The camera was suspended from the ceiling and pointed straight down on the floor. It recorded in real-time for the full hour that the performance took place.
Participants were asked to ‘interact’ with each other while they were ‘trapped’ in the bags. The viewer got a feeling of desperation, confusion, and disengagement.
The accompanying music was recorded before hand. Musicians were asked to play spontaneously for one hours without prior ideas about what they should play. Every ten minutes musicians were asked to switch instruments. ]]>

A course on the economics of the media industries.
I approached this course experimentally. I had never taught a course like this before. I was very interested in understanding the economies of the media not only through the traditional venues (the media industries for example) but also new emerging user created medias and their economies.

A course on writing for broadcast news medias.
This course taught students in the communications department at SUNY Oswego how to effectively write for the news media. Specifically this course is designed for building skills for writing in radio and television broadcasts.

Musical experirments with electronica, computers, sequencing, filters and noise rock.
A Pro-Tools studio was built equipped with a Digi 002 rack, mixing board, computers and mic’ed instruments (drums, keys, bass guitar). The following are recordings done over a 2 year period starting in 2005. Experiments commenced with musical forms such as techno-electronica, noise rock and jam rock. Other experiments in noise and sound creation often commenced.

A course on “Thinking with Images”
The idea with this course was to use the digital camera as a way to quickly construct images. Images were either fabricated by the students or were of real world ‘events’.

Art 101: Re-Conceptualizing a beginners Art survey course.
The following syllabus/content was for the first class I taught at Kean University in New Jersey. For an introductory course in art I was really interested in not only exposing the students to the traditional arts (painting, drawing, sculpture), but also the contemporary arts such as conceptual art, land art, net.art, multimedia arts etc.
