Definitionally speaking, a phenomenon can’t be unique and universal at the same time, yet here we are, 2000 and 21 years anno domini, culturally and individually in the infancy of a range of new relationships to tiny magic rectangles. A global phenomenon, all things considered. We carry them on our persons, in our purses and pockets, […]
If there’s one thing worthy of sustained consideration from studying historicism, it’s that our capabilities have a tendency to outpace what’s best for us. Our technologies race in front us. Our heads and hearts lag behind, often failing to catch up. We have various technological systems at play which we cannot stand outside of, yet […]
Experimenting with the Javascript Console and real-time coding. More specifically, I’m using in-browser script (chrome) to modify colors, images, fonts, and the sizes of various pages (randomize these variables in the case of the below images.) This is a rough sketch, not a fleshed out piece. But it is a part of the greater inquiry […]
Clearly, I’m not a trained painter, but I’ve always found a simple thrill in the interplay of wet color on hands as they knead and push into canvas or plywood. I try and get to that space as often as I can, moreso in the last few weeks as I find a calmness in the […]

If you can: deactivate(delete?)turn it offgrab a friendgo for a […]
Cacophony of birdsong built by scraping audio from Macaulay Library (freely available online repository of such.) It’s a hot-mess, but also is kinda sorta just a little mesmerizing: I then used a spectogram to visualize the audio: Screen-shotted, and next I flipped & mirrored the visual in PS. And changed the saturation/colors to make the […]
Ongoing – daily – visual study of the sky. More on this soon…
so much dependsupon a red wheelbarrow ~Williams Carlos Williams There is a certain economy to the man’s mouth. It stretches and contorts in ways that, at least for myself, are beyond atypical and, as such, are unrepresentative of a normative, well-adjusted human oral cavity. Of course, what spews from said mouth also deviates from what […]
The work – academic and artistically – has never solely been about media and/or technology. Rather, it’s long been a line of inquiry into the human experience as it relates to, and is changed by, the above fields. The mutual influence of media and tech on society as well as the resulting ethical quandaries and […]
