Il Tartufo Lucente

Created while Artist in Residence for Light City 2016,  Il Tartufo Lucente is inspired by the stories, people, and places  in Little Italy in Baltimore, MD. It  illuminated the façade of St. Leo the Great Church at the intersection of Exeter and Stiles streets. Utilizing modern projection mapping software, this work incorporated photos, drawings, and imagery collected through community workshops that lead up to the festival.

SNOW

This site-specific video installation “SNOW” was created using interactive software processing and rendering this seasonal passively observed installation. “SNOW” has been shown as part of public art events in Detroit, MI( November 2013), Williamsport, PA(December 2013),and Richmond VA( Nov 2014)

Resonations Series

These works are created from sound. The analog synthesizer that I used to generate the sine waves allowed me to connect a low voltage signal (+ or – 5 volts) to a video signal generator. The result was similar to the prints, except that it was black and white. I then used another analog video device that was connected to the output of the video signal generator to shift the color values. The material was recorded as video in a studio performance. To construct the prints, I digitized the video and selected individual video frames. I then processed and printed (26 X 40 inch) the video frames on archival paper.  They were created while in residence at Experimental Television Center, in NY state.

Threshold Circuit

Balancing visual and sound elements between distortion and clarity, I created Threshold Circuit. Viruses (biological and electrically) manipulate information and our bodies everyday and I want to visually describe that â??teeteringâ? moment between clarity and confusion.

Deck

“Deck” was created to explore a “non-electronic” experiment of creating an animation using thin simple lines. In “Deck” I used a portable video camera and “danced” across a backyard deck keeping the camera lense focused on the deck’s floor.
The music for this piece has similar purpose to “Lim.1”, to immerse the audience into the fast movements by using the constrasting, slow moving sounds.
