“[I]n the image of…" explores technology’s increasing abstraction of language, space, and culture, and builds upon the shared experience and development of the technical image. With the use of augmented and virtual reality, 3D imaging, and custom algorithms, the exhibition expands upon traditional genres such as sculpture, painting, and cinema to present artworks as worlds within worlds, portals to other spaces and experiences.

Digital Muddy 2.0 - Expanded Media Festival

www.digitalmuddy.com is a publication. The publication is user friendly, and the information can be viewed, individually or collectively.

“I want to compete with the movies” 

Meme: Romanticism examines five artists' cinematic productions that utilize technological aesthetics, cultural symbolism, historic compositions, and narratives to expose the conceptual underpinning of Romanticism. The exhibition will be set up like a theater, with viewing times allocated by length of the video. 

I propose the Bulletin Board Café as a sociological tool that supports proximal information to encourage useful sharing amongst the local art communities and general public. The exchange of information supports the individual’s interests within a community and can possibly initiate broader social, cultural and economic dialog and actions. Bulletin Board Café is a tool for participation and community voice. I will invite the public to share responsibly any information this public includes minors. Bulletin Board Café will have a sign-up sheet to schedule free use of the Bulletin BoardCafe to host PUBLIC round tables, free courses, and negotiations.

All ephemera, objects and information are to be included in the installation of Bulletin Board Cafe and all actions can be documented for publication.

Nown, Wood Street Galleries, Pittsburgh Cultural Trust

NOWN exhibits animation, which, in my definition, means work representing the action of an animated Person, Place or Thing. The use of the term, NOWN, is a word play on “now” and “noun,” meant to imply a question about permanence in the current generative virtual landscape. If all is animated, what then can be in the “now?”

Thread at Wood Street, Pittsburgh Cultural Trust

The term thread has many connotations, relating to craft and technology in the contemporary artist’s studio and in culture at large. The curatorial model of Thread physically emulates the structure of a web log.  Here at Wood Street Galleries, the exhibition is parsed into four categories, simulating threads in a conversation about the resurrection of craft aesthetics within technology-based contemporary art making.
