Expertise and Activities
The modes by which I undertake my practice are increasingly pervasive and seemingly omniscient, and include photography, film, digital video, and electronic media. As the field of “digital media” develops, I find myself occupied by the specific methods and qualities inherent in making work implicating computer processes. The ability to combine “real time” data into bytes of programmable video, audio and text objects is more accessible to artists since the advent of certain programming languages (like Cocoa, Quartz Composer, and Max/MSP/Jitter). In using such tools the digital data is seamlessly and immediately integrated and communicated into the material world (e.g. newer codecs like mp4 have built-in interactivity). This has compelled me to begin utilizing multimodal arrays of procedures combining technological feedback, immersive displays, real-time performance, computer programming, and/or analog technology.
