This is a realtime software artwork that generates randomly-combined vignettes. It links to other software objects via a server. It plays on an endless loop via a computer that I would provide.

Layers of hand-drawn images taken from my own photography and images of extinct and living animal and plant species are given chance combinations via autonomous software. The environments created in these vignettes are unpredictable, sometimes chaotic, and the human and non-human animal figures are often overwhelmed by the landscape.

30 middays and 30 midnights in Norway

You are a bug. You are born. You live. You die.

A guided meditation from the perspective of a cicada. Level IX of a fictional video game titled: “Your Final Meditation.”

A Baltimore backyard in the Summer of 2021. Thousands of Brood X Cicadas emerge after 17 years underground. An AI voiceover guides the viewer through the final days of the bugs as the nymphs emerge from the ground, molt, mate, and die. Using the life cycle of the Brood X Cicadas to explore new models of identity, mindfulness, and self-transformation in an era of global isolation and adaptation.

Filmed with vintage 16mm probe lenses designed for extremely close photography and working with a commercial production crew, the film echoes the visual aesthetics of nature documentaries like “Planet Earth” & “Microcosmos” while subverting the traditional treatment in favor of a more psychedelic new age approach echoing Croenberg’s “eXistenZ” and Marker’s “Level Five.”

Sound design recorded in collaboration with avant garde Berlin based composer Max Eilbacher using speciality microphones designed for recording extremely close sounds and vibrations inaudible to the human ear.

This film is a part of a larger series set inside the fictional guided meditation VR video game: “Your Final Meditation.” The project, presented as a series of 12 levels, explores the body’s relationship to the camera, our virtual selves, and the metaverse.
