This fall students in interactive design will be collaborating with sculpture students on a kinetic sculpture project about the Digital Body. I am very interested in the topic of how we are existing today, whether our online state is significantly different from our off-line. (more…)

rupture : a full dome format film
Director Statement
For this piece I wanted to explore full dome projection as a topic and as a medium. The format is usually presented in a planetarium space and as such the experience is a fully immersive experience, which is quite different than standard film. With normal film, the viewer feels as if they are “watching” the action and story unfold in front of them. With a medium such as this the audience is actually experiencing the movie as a participant. The contrast between the “flat” medium of film and the immersive quality of the dome is what this piece is really about.
Immersive environments like this share more in common with gaming and role-playing than a traditional film. This first project for me was very enlightening and I believe this format provides a very unique way of engaging an audience. I look forward to exploring real-time dome installations and experiences in the future.

Curator’s Incubator : co-curator for an exhibition titled: anti-matter: recontextualizing the material, Maryland Art Place, Baltimore MD
The six artists included in anti-matter: recontextualizing the material all use materials in an individualistic way that emphasizes process, instability and familiarity. The incorporation of high and low materials by artists represents a shift in attitudes towards the conventional that is culturally significant and personal at the same time. The work of Suzanna Fields, Helen Frederick, Alberto Gaitán, Morgan Kennedy, Susan Noyes and Jennie Thwing are representative of how artists are searching for new interpretations and meanings from common materials. Through recombinant technology, whether digitally based or not, these artists reflect a yearning for familiar ground in a changing landscape.
