    “Madritmos” (“Mad”: Madrid “ritmos”: Algorithms) is an interactive digital, kinetic, geo-location performance project, that uses algorithmic functions calculated in a custom GPS Tracking Android Phone App to direct the user’s or “passengers,” to move around the city of Madrid, Spain. Influenced by the French Situationists who experimented with numerous rules for navigating Paris with the… Read More

    Paggank Daywaygun (2017) is a multi-user interactive digital, kinetic, geo-locative performance media project that uses algorithmic functions calculated in a custom GPS Tracking Phone App that directs participants around Governors Island and back through Manhattan in order to repopulate NYC with nut trees and island soil. The soil that makes up more than half of… Read More

    Chaotic Isolation vs. Peaceful Reunion (2017) uses the random array of triggers and responses that are generated by the confluence of too many photoresistors (analog light sensors) assembled in a specific configuration where all attempt to read at the same time, thereby generating a kind of electrical randomness that is unpredictable. While this configuration generates… Read More
