Artist Statement


My work is fundamentally a study into the correlation of the individual agent and organizational systems. The question of what substantiates being has long been a philosophical inquiry but the proliferation of a digitally networked culture now demands significant reappraisal of the metaphysical subject. Participating in communication (electronic or otherwise) decentralizes interiority as language has the tendency to rearrange cognition, shaping sensation and knowledge into the exterior mechanics of semiotics. This condition is only intensified within contemporary media landscapes, these vast immersive environments of information, signals, channels, and noise.
As a form of response to this paradigm, my work revolves around the dialectical relationship of self and system and how these two entities synthesize with or repel one another. This is a foray into true experience and its mediated counterpart, magical existences in and through machines, an affect bred through technology and the emergence of a cybernetic hero.

  1. To be honest... there's a lot there that I can not talk about because i don't know much about the individual agent and organizational systems and a lot of other stuff.. but i think it will be interesting to know how it revolves around your work in terms of how you use it in your practice and how you intertwine your research in your making.

  2. to be sorta blunt, it feels like you are shoving a full pack of gum in our mouths, rather than a piece (which is more than enough). the statement has some super interesting parts, but i feel like they are lost in translation...especially in sentences that seem to function without the broader vocabulary, where it just becomes somewhat overwhelming and a little forced. but i think your base ideas are super relevant and interesting. very interested in this cybernetic hero you leave us with.

  3. Your ideas are very interesting, however, I must admit, I get lost in the language a little bit. I feel that the statement needs to be more accessible to the reader.
