A: To quote Marshal McLuhan, “the medium is the message.” The mediums I use and the tools of presentation are the same as that used by mass media in popular culture. Using light boxes or interactive installation is a way of projecting my images and sound into a dialogue with popular culture and even subverting it or at least complicating the discourse. It is about subverting the dominant myths of representation.
A: When making my work I like to use a mixture of older technology with the cutting edge digital processing. I sometimes like the analog feel of the image produce by older cameras or lenses. I also enjoy how using older tech changes the physical process in making an image or sound. It is not uncommon for me to use modified lenses from the forties and vintage synthesizers to produce the types of sounds, video and photographic imagery for my work.
