biography

My work as an artist focuses on language, politics and software. I intend in my practice to press the artifacts and techniques of computation's ubiquity towards a connection with the social and intellectual circumstances of their context. To this end, I have produced websites, videos, software applications, and robots, all of which have at their core a deep commitment to understanding the political, philosophical and cultural implications of computer technology. It has been important to insist that computation be understood not simply as a tool or a media, but as culture itself - a constructed, historically situated, and manipulable artifact of human sociality. I worked as a web developer through the 90s at various design and branding firms in the Bay Area, which gave me both technical insight and an understanding of how language and image are manipulated in corporate media. I hold a BA degree from the University of California Santa Cruz, a MA from the University of Chicago, and a MFA from the University of California San Diego, Department of Visual Arts. I have participated in the Whitney Museum of American Art, Independent Study Program for 2006-2007.
