My art practice uses repetition to fiddle with the boundary between preprogrammed and spontaneous action. Currently working primarily in experimental film and sound art, I design stubbornly lo-tech procedures for media creation, often using my own messy bodily and cognitive labor to accomplish what computational algorithms do better. For various process-focused pieces, I compiled every reference to the smell of money on Google Books; made a list of every description of the sound of animal labor from the closed captions of Westerns streamed day and night over two weeks; used microbes to decompose 35 mm found footage over 10 days for a film about death; and wrote 47 permutations of a description of the interior of Airforce One and other presidential aircraft. I consider what I do to be wet conceptual art (following Warren Neidich), performance, and expanded writing, no matter the medium of its expression. My work has been shown at festivals and in galleries around the world--recently, in Pune (India), Venice (Italy), London (UK), Austin (Texas), and Kansk (Russia).

Here is a seawater film "souping" setup on a hotel balcony and a shot of my walking geophilosophy in action on a tiny uninhabited island in Greece. The former will lead to a new video, and the latter was preparation The Word Is Not The Thing That Will Hold Your Remains.
