About The Artwork

Mechanized light painting with light fixture, UV light tube, daylight tube, UV pigment, motor, Arduino, components, wood panel, steel frame. Lemon Bomb Face is an ongoing series of mechanized light paintings where words are hidden and revealed by two types of light: ultraviolet and daylight. I Win Well is part 2 of the series. The linear-motion mechanism carries a dual light fixture back and forth across the face of a mounted board. Text is painted on the board with UV pigment, applied with customized 3D-printed rubber stamps. The light fixture creates a vertical division across the board, revealing the text as the UV light illuminates the fluorescence bi-product, and the daylight conceals it. This work is inspired by my interest in how information is hidden and revealed, edited and leaked. It’s a response to how information, whether it’s learned or simply just flowing at you for incontinent feeds, shapes our perceptions of what it defines. It comments on the ability it has to be meaningful or equally meaningless, pithy, and instantly non-existent. The text is designed on the stamps to print a certain word, phrase, or part of a document. Words are arranged as such to be fragmented, twisting their form, making repeating statements and/or questions, and imitating the visible positive/negative space boundaries created by redacted documents (found online). Choices for the text are inspired from sources deemed “questionable”, such as Donald Trump’s twitter feed, political discourse, some email scams, Fox news, etc.. Chosen from caustic political discourse, headline speak with ambivalent meanings, and incontinent information feeds, we’re left to decode as it comes at us. The two light tubes run continuously back and forth, displaying an ongoing hide/show of the static words. This piece is electronic, must be professionally installed, and it moves.

I am a visual artist living and working between New York City and artist residencies. My work uses various media, referencing concepts and concerns over my own interpretations of the world. This can take the form of a dreamlike or simulated version of experiences, or a replay of something seen or heard. I’m influenced by places, instances, and the way we think about information as we receive it through both traditional and alternative methods. I find today's discourse violent and destructive and I am frightened by how that discourse conditions our perceptions. The subjects I incorporate into visual artworks get at this in roundabout ways. These can be objects or images that come off as noisy, repetitive, or unsettling. They can also be dark, weird, and problematic. I do enjoy referencing problems and behavior, and our relationship to technology. Specifically what the digital does to the physical, and the interplay between these two realities. Professor of Media Studies and Digital Arts. Exhibition venues include The Painting Center, The Austrian Cultural Forum, The Invisible Dog Art Center, Portal: Governor’s Island, and Harvestworks Digital Media Arts Center. Works in private collections are represented by Porter Advisory. International exhibitions and alternative spaces include Periferic 8 Biennial for Contemporary Art: Art As Gift, in Iași, Romania; The Lab for Electronic Arts & Performance in Berlin; The Contemporary Art Center in Greece, and Hafnarborg in Iceland. Some residencies include Harvestworks Digital Media Arts Center (NYC), Hafnarborg: Hafnarfjördur Centre of Culture & Fine Art in Iceland, Hungarian Multicultural Center in Budapest, White Sands Desert in New Mexico, and Event Horizon in Crete (upcoming 2021).
