Art
Net Art

Washing Machine

New Media Art
Dead Languages
Dead Languages is a work in progress, it explores the data loss inherent in old media and how that reflects our experience of memory.
I'm Beside Myself
“Beside Myself” is an interactive installation.
Users slip on a VR headset where a camera dangles above their head and voluntarily enter a space of anxiety and removal from themselves. This forced removal from their own perspective invites them to consider the ways in which they are always engaging in self alienation and reconciliation.
Closed Circuit
Closed Circuit is an ongoing series of sculptures created from personal tv/radio’s.
Each piece in the series is an individual with it’s own unique character. The television is disassembled, and reconstructed with custom alterations to its circuitry. A security camera is incorporated into the tv’s antenna and connected to a version of Tetsuo Kogawa's micro tv transmitter. The television is then tuned in to receive the transmission of itself. This results in a sculpture that is forced to view and display itself.
Closed Circuit #1
First in the series. This sculpture also has a cassette tape running.
Closed Circuit #2
Second in the series. This has a custom 'double yoke'.
