My focus is on performance art / conceptual art and the use of music and mixed media within the pieces. Relevant are the development of recent technologies and the possibilities of integrating those with physical performance; to both meld human and technological elements as well as bringing aspects of emotionality to those technological forms of expression.
I have been creating and producing electronic music for over ten twenty years, and in the past my music has gone in the directions of avant-garde, electronic dance, rock, and ambient. I have performed music live in venues especially in New York City, both with a group of musicians and alone. I have also worked in the commercial field of scoring (creating soundtracks) for media productions and presentations.
I have a background in fine arts, where I have assembled interactive installations, several video art pieces, and many mixed media pieces. I have worked extensively in the commercial world of web design.
Through the use of technology I have been able toincorporate the above stated elements of mixed media and performance art, specifically through installations and performance in combination with sound. I hope to achieve a more seamless integration of these elements. An example might be a music performance where participants use their bodies to trigger ambient light and sound, or a self-contained interactive installation— a “found” object sculpture that respond to viewers’ proximity and movement. I plan to further explore specific themes that are important to me with these pieces.
