  • Where is my Ben and Jerry’s????

    Ok, I know my blog is basically about art, tech, and visuals, but dammit I love ice cream, and that specifically means Ben and Jerry’s.  I’ve been to their Sundae in the Park every year I’ve been here in the UK, where I’ve eaten enough of their ice cream to make a pro wrestler incontinent. …

  • Hand-waving-time-slices test

    Hand-waving-time-slices test Originally uploaded by da mad pixelist For an upcoming exhibition (my first solo exhibition) I’ve been working on a series of 5-7 new works, from interactive software to prints to sculpture.

  • Twitter Words Visualization

    A visualization of each individual word used in twitter status updates overnight from 6PM GMT on Feb 22 2010 until 10AM GMT on Feb 23.

  • Tests for a music video for PJE

    I’m working on a music video for a song by PJE called The Employee and doing some tests.  The idea is to create the surrealistic daydream of a 1950’s woman on her first day on the assembly line of a dreary, machine-like typist job.  I’m doing all the visuals rendered in fluxus, cut with some…

  • Uzman Haque & Adam Greenfield @ Space

    If architecture is a form of conversation between a space and its inhabitants, to paraphrase Usman Haque, then the conversation between Haque and Adam Greenfield at Space Studios in Hackney was practically Victorian in its flourishes and monumental aspirations. Like the massive ribcage of old steel forming the roof of St. Pancras rail station, this…
