Net.Art Portrait of Edie Sedgewick

Designed to run as a web-generated loop within a browser. The
familiar technique of Warhol's multiple is revisited in a
digital context, with a colors chaotically colliding into one
another.

September 11th, 2001
Artwork description
The piece is a loop made from televised footage of flight 175 crashing into the World Trade Center. However, the image is made by coloring individual letters of the names of people who lost thier lives on that day. As seen in the July 8th, 2002 Issue of the New York Times, and included in the "9-11 +1: The Complexities of Security" show at Brown University.

Artwork title
Six ASCII Flowers
Artwork description
Prints of flowers whose forms are determined by coloring
individual bits of text. My ASCII work uses technology as a
metaphor- in this case, the bits are actually made up of the
charectors "%20" - the ascii code for a blank space. The piece
comments on the breakdown of natural symbolism, and of our
disconnection with nature in the face of an information glut.
Available as prints, this link is to a web version.

Artwork title
Six ASCII Nudes
Artwork description
Six nudes, taken via webcam from another continent, translated
into more obvious bits of information. The pieces are meant to
explore the aesthetics of ascii, the code used to exchange
information between computers. In this case, the piece explores
also suggests the seperation and isolation of a networked
society, where even intimacy is a matter of data processing.
Also available as prints.

Artwork title
ASCII Hearts
Artwork description
I'll be drawing one ascii heart for everyday that I am in love
or until I make 4000 hearts. If I fall out of love, or reach
4000 hearts, the entire series will be printed and bound into
books with a rubber band, which will be sold to the highest
bidders. The hearts themselves are graffitti-based "tags" which
are then converted to ascii, published as soon as they are
improvised.

Artwork title
RGB ("Dancing Pixels")
Artwork description
Created in line with my "Six Rules For A New Internet Art," this
piece works with the net's most basic elements. Three frames
consist of three choices; R, G, and B, for the standard colors
of image guns in computer monitors- (Red, Green, and Blue.) Each
choice takes you to an ascii movie of dancer Jessica Johnson,
who I filmed with a digital camera. The work is in line with my
use of ascii as a metaphor for information mediated reality. The
image is abstracted down to it's barest recognizable features,
abstract color fields barely comprehensible as an image.
