"The master's tools will never dismantle the master's house." - Audre Lorde (2026)

12 AI prints produced for ARTifical (2026) at Maryland Art Place. Since the launch of ChatGPT, the public has become aware of Artificial Intelligence, though the field has much deeper roots. What is new is the speculative bubble, reminiscent of the dot-com crash, and the extraordinarily disruptive power concentrated among just a few major players. Evoking the bleak satire of Dr. Strangelove, my work uses AI itself to expose the unsettling risks of this moment.

This is Not a Bubble (Ceci n’est pas une bulle)

Fire Year (2025)

Fire Year is a telematic art installation that addresses the catastrophic fires that overtook Altadena and The Palisades in Greater Los Angeles. Nohe aimed an HD video camera at a miniature set illuminated by flame simulation LEDs. The video feed was transmitted to a large flat panel TV, near the miniature set. The work was accompanied by a sound mix of environmental and radio frequency sound captured in Los Angeles.

Bell Labs Mosh (2018)

Bell Labs Mosh (2018), total running time 05:12. Part of a video series that examines the early information age, this industrial film was produced at Bell Labs and represents early experiments in rendering human speech and the "Poem Fields" computer animation work of Stan Vanderbeek and Kenneth Knowlton. Many of the inventions predicted within this video area a reality and commonplace, as accessible as our mobile phone. The original industrial film was made available under Creative Commons license, at archive.org. This data-moshing work was created while in residence at Signal Culture, Owego, NY.

Installed in the Electronic Gallery, Salisbury University, July 16 - October 25, 2018.

Light Well for James Turell (2017)

Light Well for James Turrell (2017), employed analog video and sound synthesis to evolve in real-time dynamic and shifting sound and light patterns that immersed a room in vivid hues. Four analog CRT tv monitors screened opening and closing concentric circles of deeply saturated color. Installed at the Kohl Gallery at Washington College with four matched CRTs, November 9 - December 15, 2017.

Electron Drawing – Visual Music (2017)

Electron Drawing – Visual Music was installed at Light City as a public art commission on the Art Walk. The piece employed analog modular synthesis sound which simultaneously produced live vector graphic video that was captured by a HD camera fed directly to a 12’ by 9’ LED jumbotron wall. Audience members shaped the sound and the drawings through two motion infrared motion sensors, and these were inset into two custom lasercut boxes produced by the artist.
