The Battle of Silicon Valley
Before you, a battle scene plays out. The sound of swords clanging against each other rings out as two sides furiously clash. Cries of frustration and anguish can be heard for miles. Gallant men ride horses that carelessly trample on anything underfoot*. These men are recognizable to most. These men are the leaders of Silicon Valley and the corporate web. Now, these men are viewed as clever entrepreneurs with a prowess for deals and expansion. However, if these men were to exist in any other time they would be called robber barons, highwaymen, and thieves. Our digital painting will allow the audience to view these men in a different, more Neoclassical light. By questioning how we view our current online landscape we can understand what motivates and drives it.
*No possums were harmed in the making of this proposal.
Inspired by The Battle of Austerlitz by François Gérard, 1810.

In this ensemble of animated GIFs and interactive animations, I demonstrate the disruptively expressive capabilities of several simple learning tools: P5.js, Audacity, and avidemux. With each of these tools, I will create an animation and explanation that will show how each tool demonstrates a different modality for supporting a process: P5.js exemplifies moving from nothing to something by making the power of Processing available with the convenience of HTML5; Audacity demonstrates "databending" by using a tool designed for audio to manipulate images; and avidemux makes "datamoshing" possible by exploiting errors in video codecs.

Data: The New Flesh
This is an installation we ran at OpenEd 2013 when we first presented Reclaim Hosting. This is a media piece that will interrogate the nature of data and ownership in the wake of social media silos that have monetized the metrics of our life.

memoreyes
memoreyes is a quadtych collage work that takes private memories and casts them in a new light. Using hundreds of eyes from vintage portraits mounted on antique photo album pages, memoreyes engages audiences by inverting the gaze and asks us to fill in the blanks - who were these people and why/where were they posing? Structured on antique album pages and resembling audio visualizing bars, this artwork will invite viewers to look into the eyes of hundreds of people and enter a realm of conversation between the viewer and the viewed.
Pimp My Board
Having a hoverboard is one thing, but how would you pimp it? Fly into the future and design your own hoverboard, using https://remixer.visualthinkery.com/. You can browse the board design gallery, and remix an existing design. Be sure to share it though - as it could be just the inspiration someone in your network needs. Sharing a remix inspires others. Sharing a hoverboard remix will DEFINITELY inspire others. Believe me, I've been to the future - I know.
TM Certified
It's an ART mashup of easy ideas lobbed together into a big pot of non-sense – bland business and investing email jargon data re-focused into a sensible new dialog to enlighten others about certified collage art as a wholly new derivative financial investment product. And it's real. Satire or fraud? ART or copyright-strikable? Who cares. Just Buy. https://www.instagram.com/tm.certified/

“The works are visual representations for the regular distortions, missing of sounds, words and overall communication struggles that I experience daily. They represent how I feel, react, overcompensate and adjust to communication in various interactions. They are intended to be both subtle, confusing and difficult to follow.”

“As a continuation of my creepiness and as a teaser for Domains I’ve created ‘Mcflyify’, a website that hooks into Google’s Cloud Vision API which allows you to make your own Marty McFly ‘Back to the Future’ style postcard.”

A smart city tracks and analyzes a woman walking through the city. Things she does are interpreted and logged by the city system, but are they drawing an accurate picture of the woman?
