Ever since I was a kid I’ve enjoyed making collages, playing with tape recorders and taking pictures. Arranging and juxtaposing sounds and images to find hidden meaning, or just plain silliness.
Nowadays, my work is informed by investigations into Chaos and Emergence. Using the tools and lenses of culture and technology, I investigate the emergent order that unfolds at the intersection of my perception, my will, and the physical world.
Since my own philosophy is constantly reformulating, I hope the following randomly generated paradigm will serve as my artist’s statement. To paraphrase Marx(1): These are my principles, if you don’t like them then click here, I have others.
The whole is greater than the sum of its parts; individual thoughts are mycelial memes whose individual existence is wholly dependent on their context. The musical fact that sustainability is possible only through harmonic resonance applies just as well to the relationships of living things, atoms, and ideas, as it does to sound. “For any formal theory in which basic arithmetical facts are provable, either the theory is inconsistent or it is possible to construct an arithmetical statement which is true but not provable or refutable in the theory.”… Only the illusion of time separates us from absolute being.
