| Time-O-Rama: Electric Infinity with Real Plastic, 2006 |
A large installation; 20 mechanized taxidermy animals, two video projections, 5 sound cd's, flowers blooming, leaves falling and changing colors, lightning and thunder, wine was dispensed from a nozzle sticking oout of the deer's ribs...I was trying to create a mystical reality, the experience of the collapse of time and space into a single point of reality, while being self-aware the paradox of creating such a reality using time-based media in a space. Special thanks to Anna Bojic for all her generous time and effort. |

| Johnny Steel at the Filler, 2003 |
I tried to share "The Filling Station" bar in Bozeman, Montana with Pittsburgh. I made a cardboard miniature of the bar and projected a recording I had made in the real bar of Johnny Steel and the Decline of the West. I served 16 oz cans of Pabst and did shots of Makers with lots of people. After the openning it really smelled like a bar and was left a mess of peanut shells, empty cans, and cigarette butts with the band playing non stop for the remaining three weeks of a show at Future Tenant Gallery. The energy did transfer, there was dancing. |
