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 Net is a flowering of self-knowledge; born from the universal will to consciousness. “Nothing is true. Everything is permitted”. Like vortexes or standing waves, we are made of the medium from which we emerge and to which we re-merge. No complex system can be understood in isolation.
