I have been studying, working, exhibiting and curating in the field of systems/Internet based art since 1994. My work has been exhibited and presented nationally and internationally; in venues such as SFMOMA, The Walker Art Center (Mineapolis), The New Museum (New York), Ars Electronica (Linz), Transmediale (Berlin), and the 2002 Whitney Biennial.

I make systems and insertions in systems as art. During the last three years I have focused on the use, functionality, and appearance of the Web and e-mail communication. Mapping the Web Infome and The Infome Imager both provide new ways of mapping, experiencing and understanding the spaces of the Web; The Stillman Projects and Troika investigates the Web as a public environment and the e-mail sender Syncro Mail targets people's private relationships to, and hopes for, digital communication. In addition to my solo projects I have been collaborating on performances and events as a member of the group C5.

    2006 Rockefeller New Media Foundation Proposal

    Pulse is a distributed collective biofeedback system that aims to synchronize the heartbeats of its participants. By mapping our lowest common denominator, our heartbeat, this project aims to create a direct experience of us as one collective entity, one body. The project is intended for a new media art conference/festival setting. The pulse rate is continuously collected from people who choose to participate using a wearable device (optimally a ubiquitous device such as an ipod or cell phone). The pulse rate is transmitted via a wireless network to a computer. The computer calculates the average pulse rate and transmits it to the participants as a single beat sound played in the same device that recorded and transmitted the heartbeat. The participants' heartbeat rates might at times converge due to a synchronizing effect of the playback sound. In addition all heartbeats of all participants will be visualized and sonified in a minimalist fashion in an installation. The subjects explored with the project range from psychoacoustics and biofeedback to the relationship between the individual and the collective and synchronization.

    2004 Rockefeller New Media Foundation Proposal

    The Infome Imager is a software for creating visualizations of the World Wide Web. The software allows the user to create "crawlers" (software robots, which could be thought of as automated Web browsers) that gather data from the Web, and it provides methods for visualizing the collected data. Some of the functionality of the Infome Imager software is similar to a search engine such as Google, but with some significant differences. Those differences shifts the software's functionality from being merely a tool for finding information on the Web to an art project which is generating new understandings of the Web. The lnfome lmager crawler collects "behind the scenes" data such as the length of a page, when a page was created, what network the page resides on, the colors used in a page and other design elements of a page etc. It scratches on the surface and glances down into the subconscious of the Web in hopes to reveal its inherent structure, in order to create new understandings of its technical, aesthetic and political functionalities.
