Installation/Sculpture
Water Printer, 2015
A machine designed to attempt and fail to print on the surface of water.
Last Words, 2014
With Last Words I highlight and aestheticize the real-time “wear and tear” of recorded media by placing a single VHS tape loop between two VCRs connected and playing across two CRT televisions.
Death of the Sun (in three parts), 2012
The sun as it spins, is literally photographed into nothingness; ultimately succumbing to pure digital artifact. As this image slowly un-defines itself, giving way to abstraction I am creating an awareness of the tenuous nature of all digital images.
All My Friends, 2015
From a technical perspective All My Friends is a “sonification” project in which I translate my Facebook friend's profile pictures into piano music, dub that music on to cassette, and arrange them sculpturally.
Crossroads, 2020
Like a lot of people I’ve been thinking about the end times. This is a sculpture I made imagining the Hollywood landscape rebuilt by survivors as a way to provide themselves comfort in the post-apocalypse. This is the Crossroads of the World monolith on Sunset Blvd.
Last Known Whereabouts #2, 2019
When the app was in beta I would drive to these abduction sites to test its integrity in real time. I began collecting objects that I found in these places and amassed a small collection of what could objectively be referred to as trash. I would also take field recordings when possible. Concurrent to this project I built a sculpture (picture below) that used a hand-made, record lathe head to pass these field recordings through an object (in this case, objects that I found at these abduction sites) to then be collected by contact mics.
Dry Ice Lathe, 2015
A companion piece to the Water Printer in which a vinyl record lathe etches sound information into the surface of a slab of dry ice.
