Interdisciplinary Projects

These projects utilize a range of technologies and art methodologies, including multimedia performance, GPS enabled neighborhood folksonomy, social media, and games.

The work I produced as a collaborator in C5 (1997 - 2007) explores the theoretical and cultural possibilities of new technologies. We utilized programming, data visualization, performance expedition, installation, and more conventional art media to work out our interests 'big data,' data transposition, sublime data, and navigation.
