Pandemic Portrait pic

June 12-21, 2026: I am showing a new procedural artwork in the "CURRENTS 2026" festival of new media art at El Museo Cultural in Santa Fe, NM. Entitled Pandemic Portrait, it emerged from thinking about all the time I spent on zoom during the Covid-19 pandemic, vacillating between a sense of isolation and the intimacy of looking into people's personal spaces over their shoulders. Not to mention the occasional visual glitching that disrupted any temporary sense of shared reality. The 40 individual portraits in the piece appear and disappear as on group zooms, summoning echoes of that time of intense unease.

June 13-22, 2025: I showed a procedural artwork in the "CURRENTS 2025" festival of new media art at El Museo Cultural in Santa Fe, NM. Entitled Walking, it suggests an animated abstract landscape 'walking' slowly back and forth alongside the viewer and features imagery drawn largely from the work of Bay Area artist Christel Dillbohner and from our collaborations.

November 2024: I'm very pleased to announce that my latest book is just off the press. Experimental Practices in Interdisciplinary Art, co-edited with Jesse Colin Jackson, is a set of interviews with artists working at the intersection of visual arts, science, and technology. It touches on all the factors that make this kind of work both deeply rewarding and also, at times, supremely frustrating. A must-have for transdisciplinary artists seeking other like-minded makers. Also available from Amazon.
