Simple eMotion

Simple eMotion is a work-in-progress which breaks down stock videos of actors performing simple facial expressions, frame by frame, in order to explore not only the evolving nature and mechanisms of the ‘moving image,’ but also the hidden systems, labours and traumas that exist between the frames of the Neoliberal world.

Second Nature

Inspired heavily by Myst, as well as earlier, text-based adventure games, Second Nature is a work-in-progress which makes use of the game platform Twine. Where Myst has the User explore an unsettling, Post-Modern landscape, Second Nature instead drops them in a labyrinth of the non-places and any-places-whatever of the Hypermodern.

Global Translation

The end results reveal the influences of those systems on the things which move through them.

Haiga.NET

Haiga.NET is a sometimes comical, sometimes seriousess collection of web-based poetry, in the Haiku style, blended with digital imagery. This combination of Haiku and image is sometimes referred to as Haiga. Where traditional Haiku is rooted in references to nature, Haiga.NET instead references Second Nature, the world as it has been (re)created under Global Capitalism.

A Life Of Sundays

A Life Of Sundays is a simple web art piece, inspired by the phrase ‘Leave it All Behind for a Life of Sundays,’ which I first encountered as a t-shirt slogan. Specifically, the work looks at how the idea of a ‘Life of Sundays,’ despite its apparent intent, both feeds into and is simultaneously negated by the current state of Neoliberal Capitalism.
