My art explores themes of desire, control, power and authority. I make art out of software, and in most cases the software is delivered on the Internet and is meant to be experienced in the online environment* These networked artworks create a stage on which individuals act out there intentions within a framework or a language, governed (in part) by the parameters I set. The artwork is a structure and an ongoing process, not a thing or a finished object. It is not a narrative or story. It does not have an "end". The artwork unfolds as visitors engage in the work. The result is dynamic, changeable, and surprising.
