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.
A meme can only be sustained if it resonates harmonically with the memes with which it is associated. When Einstein pointed out that the Earth travels in a straight line through a space that is curved by the mass of the Sun he implies that the same is true for all massive bodies in orbit ie. the Moon around the Earth and the electrons around their massive protons… Like vortexes or standing waves, we are made of the medium from which we emerge and to which we re-merge. Everything is true, Nothing is forbidden.
