Abstract

Prepare a salad and toss images into it and cut up and boil videos into a soup. Mix up subjective experiences as an unusual way to examine the past. My past includes a childhood and a more distant past across many generations. By personifying my cultural past and mixing that past as an ingredient into the present, my work starts from nerve impulses that are fuel, mysterious connections, and intuitions. Video production, printmaking, virtual reality, sonic compositions, and live performance are part of my working process. These forms of manipulation of electronic waves are the closest processes to nerve impulses of the body.
