This is the forth installment in the series "eco-works" begun in 2003.

14 October 06 - 08:36Virtual Real-Estate: Squatting Domains

09.02.04
Full Screen net.art websites devoted to a single Squatted Domain Name

I experimented with creating various websites that acted as single 'channels' of information (imagery, video, animation) in full screen mode that emulated a television 'portal' in a web browser. All information had various instances of 'looping' that created an indefinite 'web' instance. Sites were 'found objects' - domains that were registered yet had no content so therefore had the potential of a virtual 'squat".

Operation United States Freedom

214 plastic 'Army Men' were deployed in and around Manhattan in New York City. They were placed in buildings, in public and private areas, and on 'the streets". This was done the same day as the "2003 invasion of Iraq" when 214,000 United States service men and women were deployed in Iraq.

01.22.2001
Experiments in creating physical pixels for use in installations, interactivity and situations.

These experiments in painted surfaces and LCD photos were begun at the end of my masters work at Rochester Institute of Technology. I was interested in creating flat painted surfaces that were devoid of brush strokes and photographs that were devoid of objects for use in gallery installations and creating public situations.
