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.
Even before thought, it is sound that divides our experience into space and time. The logic is circular, but such an autopoietic epistemology is fitting and self-similar to the subject matter. Linear determinist models can no longer serve to explain the behavior of the physical world, biology or intelligent systems. Time is a by-product of gravity, an illusion of the unfurling of being through becoming.
