My current interest in eco-related artwork began in 1995 with the film "You Cannot Survive the End of the World" which was produced for the first annual World Population Film and Video Festival.  My current work investigates the relationship between environmental issues and new technology - specifically, the cultural integration of these issues and technologies.  I enjoy hacking solar powered LED lawn lamps, authoring data visualization software, and dreaming of ways to power my plethora of electronic gadgets carbon neutrally.

My goals are to understand and manipulate the aesthetics, semiotics, and narratives of various time-based media. This research takes the form of traditional musical composition, real-time interactive audio/video performance, multimedia installation and networked experience. I hold a Masters of Music from Northern Illinois University and a Masters of Fine Art from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.
