A loop created within my "mulatto oblongata" installation (January 2010). Thanks to Kevin Hamilton.

A Brief Display of Self Preservation

2009-12-16T16:10:00.000-08:00

Eating and sleeping are natural and necessary. However, the endless monotony of performing them is at best repulsive.

Heaven/Hell

2009-12-16T16:02:00.000-08:00

A short sequence of judgement.

Witch

2009-12-16T15:54:00.000-08:00

The witch tests ranged from benign to deadly. The sink test involved tying rocks to the accused and placing them in water. If they sank, they were proclaimed innocent. If they floated, they were pronounced a witch, and were then hanged. Unfortunately with this test, even if you were innocent you still drowned and never had a chance to live as an innocent person.

FIGHT!

2009-10-30T13:46:00.000-07:00

This is a mach-up of a video installation I hope to do someday. Each "boxer" would be projected onto opposing walls of an empty room as large as possible. Viewers would walk between the "fight".

Atom Eve Vol. I (1996)

2009-03-28T15:17:00.000-07:00

This is a film that I made in 1996. It was the result of hours of experimental techniques involving live mixes, incorporating 2 VHS machines, records, cassette tapes, cds, microphones, feedback. At one point, I even ran the video signal through a 4-track tape recorder and guitar effect pedal to explore that result. The films sole purpose was to utilize any television for it's sound and visual capabilities.

R.I.P - VHF (test)

R.I.P.-VHF

2009-03-05T00:08:00.000-08:00

Painted directly onto the screen of a thrown out RCA television, "R.I.P. vhf (ex-ray)" exists as a monument (tombstone) to the obsolescence of analogue television broadcast signals that have informed and influenced generations since the 1930's. I find it interesting to enlist technology as a thing which is vulnerable to factors such as evolution and mortality. Especially, given the fact that it is, itself an instrument of distributing the very information that has constructed the architecture toward it's demise.

Capsule (test)

2009-03-04T23:52:00.000-08:00

A more aggressive, untreated version. Make sure and crank your volume up real loud around 01:25 for this one.

Capsule (Extended Version)

2009-03-04T23:06:00.000-08:00

Steve Pomberg and I shot some clips out at the infamous landfill near Berkeley, CA. I took the clips and chopped ‘em up real good and threw in some additional audio. I think this piece would look pretty cool playing on about 20 televisions of various dimensions scattered around an interior space. There would also be a really large (20’ x 15’) projection on a single wall in the space. The televisionversions would use the actual audio from the clips and the large projection would mix in the treated audio. All visuals would be on a constant loop.

Formations

2009-03-04T08:07:00.000-08:00

This is the architecture for an installation I'd like to make involving 4 separate loops running full-bleed on 4 separate walls. The loops were culled from footage I shot standing my rooftop in San Francisco as The Blue Angels made passes during "Fleet Week" in 2008.

Oldham Brothers EP

2009-02-28T12:28:00.001-08:00

Here is the art I did for an Oldham Brothers EP (2008). It was going to be in support of a scheduled tour in Spain. Unfortunately, the tour fell through at the last minute and they never pressed the record. The brothers wanted me to reinterpret a set of etchings done by Francisco Goya. We were all quite happy with the results, and there is the possibility that the record may one day rise from the ashes. I'll keep my fingers crossed, for now.
