Binary With Distortion, 2011
Screenprint ink on canvass
102cm x 77.5cm

An edition of 6 dissimilar prints made by screen-printing with an un-stretched screen. Each step of the process allowed for error so that the final pieces are far less perfect than their first stage as computer generated grid of ones and zeros.

233cm x 360cm x 294cm

Collaboration with Matthew Draving. I/O Glyphics is a fake 3d animation or rather a real 3d object. A painted foam replica of the Rosetta Stone rotates at 2 revolutions per minute in front of a seamless photo backdrop. A video feed of the sculpture is displayed on a monitor seen on the other side of a wall. This is a notation of the translation through mediums as well as re-materialization of the art object.

10 copies of the piece were available for free to be taken by the viewer. The piece says "XEROX 1906" very small in the bottom center. the Xerox corporations was started the same year as the major earthquake that destroyed most of San Francisco. The piece is inferring a connection between reproduction and destruction.

Degaussing a Clock, 2011
Single channel video
Duration 00:47

A performance using a battery operated clock and a degausser.

Counter Art, 2011
Proximity sensor, computer monitor, custom software, plywood
90.96cm X 45cm X 45cm

Counter Art attempted to count the number of times it was viewed. It added a number every time the infra red beam is broken, shadows and reflections could also break the beam as well as viewers. I became somewhat of a clock for the show it was a part of, counting disruptions instead of seconds.

Degausser, 2011
Installation view at
The Popular Workshop, SF
50 VHS cassette tapes, 4 magnetic data erasers (degaussers), VCR, TV, plywood
108cm X 162.5cm X 40.6cm

When a degausser is placed over the VCR as a VHS tape plays the image and audio is erased and distorted in real time. At certain positions atop the VCR, the magnetic tape eraser will cause the frame rate of 29.97 fps to slow down. As information is wiped and rearranged on the tapes, interesting wobbly distortions and frame overlaps occur. The distortions are permanent. The piece is set up so that the viewer has the option of erasing a tape of their choice.
