My work builds on the tradition of installations that incorporate live imagery of viewers to alter their sense of space, time, power, and self. It also shares a lineage with work that explores the formal properties and infrastructure of the video medium itself. Significantly, however, my work extends the possibilities of both genres by involving computational tools. Because I write my own software, I can both extract and reinterpret information in the incoming video signal, and radically refigure the output possibilities for time-based imagery. While many artists work with available digital tools for editing and compositing moving imagery, I am interested in inventing new possibilities for the medium itself.
