My work explores systems: their creation, control, use and experience of them. In 1994 I became interested in human interaction with technology and nonlinear information. Much of my work that followed dealt with the internet and code. My investigations made me increasingly intrigued with the relationships between perception and coded language. I began to explore the organization and chaos of complex systems, including tax evasion, the metaverse, money laundering, sock puppets and astroturfing, identity theft, the technological singularity, and most recently waste, urbanism, pathogens and poisons. My interpretations of these kinds of information spaces are motivated by my daily visual intake and life experiences. Infrastructures, global warming and climate change, identity, crime, consumerism, misinformation, semantics, sociology, pollution, overpopulation, war, pandemics- these are some of the topics that drive my thinking and production of my work.
