I am currently developing and articulating a new poetics focused on transformative convergences between material and immaterial systems. The poetics will serve as a dynamic, fertile, foundational ground for artistic practice, and will be expressed in the form of both a traditional text and an electronic text. Continue Reading →
Corpus Corvus is an experimental mixed reality performance artwork that utilizes stereoscopic projection, motion capture-based animation, an integrated physical/media choreographic vocabulary, and electroacoustic composition in an abstract articulation of the Pacific Northwest Native American myth of the raven as god and thief who steals the sun and creates the universe.

Vayu is a prototype for an interactive installation artwork that uses computer vision to interpret the moving body as a hybridized material/immaterial system. The interface for the work is a Jitter-based computer vision system that recognizes physical gestures derived from ancient movement systems designed to activate the body’s immaterial dimensions.

Shadow Studies is a series of studies for installation artworks using Arduino/Processing-based physical interfaces and dynamic, computationally-generated imagery to explore subtle, abstract reflections of embodied presence and physical movement.
Purnachandra Raktva, Sanskrit for a stained, reddened, or eclipsed full moon, is an augmented reality performance of the body extended and rediscovered through a prism of technological expansion, mythic embodiment, multisensory language, and kinesthetic sculpture.

Rakta is a 12-minute sound composition that served as the sound score for the performance work Purnachandra Raktva. Rakta means “blood” and accordingly provided the innate structural foundation for Purnachandra Raktva, which refers to a reddening eclipse of a full moon. Continue Reading →
In collaboration with Stephanie Andrews
accretion is a structure that accumulates through a creative interplay between physical movement, digital memory, human manipulation, and energetic manifestation. Continue Reading →
Udo is a 4-minute electroacoustic sound composition. The piece is built upon a foundation of seven frequency numbers derived from the golden mean: 102.5, 165.848483975, 268.34848426152, 434.19696870012, 702.54545371176, 1136.7424236256, 1839.2878793012. Continue Reading →
futuRasa is a media performance installation that explores physical/media embodiment through a synthesis of gesture-based choreography, 3D animation, experimental projection, electroacoustic sound, and innovative live theatrical performance. futuRasa is a performative inquiry into the deepest kinesthetic dimensions of corporeality vis a vis technology; and a continuing investigation of the body and its mediated extensions working in poetic resonance. Continue Reading →
Prayer is an animation-based screendance and media/performance installation in which the movement of an abstract physical body poetically moves the night sky. The animation was constructed from muscle memory of a physical improvisation using forward kinematics, exploring the translation of kinesthetic intelligence into digital forms that transcend the limitations of the physical body. Continue Reading →
Futurismo in Lenticular is a series of 3D lenticular prints. The impetus for this project was an exploration and deconstruction of forms and methods utilized in 20th century futurist paintings, toward initial discovery of an expansion and evolution of these forms and methods within the context of a 3dimensional canvas. The work gestures toward a fusion of light and materiality, stasis and motion, surface and depth, time and space.
Warrior is a videodance based on the archetype of the monomyth or hero’s journey, explored in the context of the interface between the body and technology. Continue Reading →
flower is a videodance. An abstract poetic remix of the story of Antonie Saint-Exupery’s Little Prince and his flower, this work meditates on time, history, and the delicate liminal spaces between the visible and invisible. Continue Reading →
The Wave is an electronic text derived from a series of media performances that articulates a collection of meditations on myth, metaphor, and embodiment. Continue Reading →
The Wave is an evening-length solo multimedia performance that explores embodiment of avatar, or virtual representation of a physical body. Continue Reading →
Luminous Flux is a screendance created in collaboration with choreographer Julia Ritter and video artist Jeremy B. Warner.
cosine was fundamentally inspired by an exploration of the rheomode, a term coined by quantum physicist David Bohm that can be summarized as flowing or fluid language. Bohm posits the rheomode as an experiment in language, toward a discovery the language of the quantum wave, Continue Reading →
cosine is a journey of transformation that travels through the darkness of the psyche on the wings of a butterfly. The collaborative work involved principal investigators from the disciplines of digital media, architecture, choreography, electronic music, theatrical design, video, photography, visual art, and live performance. It was inspired by and structurally based on ideas derived from math and modern physics. Continue Reading →
cosine Hypertext is a modular hypertext consisting of poetry and digital images derived from ink paintings. It is a subconscious, labyrinthine journey through changing faces of color, light, meaning and inner movement. Continue Reading →
Sine is an evening-length multimedia dance theater work that explores contemporary mythos through a fluid, integrated physical/media language. Continue Reading →
Romeo & Juliet is a mixed media choreographic interpretation of Shakespeare’s play. The commissioned work was performed live with a 72-piece orchestra.

Still Point is an interactive physical computing installation based on a Sufi poem that describes a journey through seven states of consciousness. Continue Reading →
The first project I created with the computer was medeaproject, a digital articulation of Euripides’ Medea. Continue Reading →
A genesis for my art/research practice can be found in Hamletmachine (1992). Continue Reading →
