I am a writer, performance artist, and creator of experiences, living and working in Washington, D.C. My performance lectures, interactive experiences, and installations utilize appropriation, remixing, participation, and improvisation to involve participants in radical new ways of creating meaning.
Out in the world, I create conceptual experiences and participatory art events, give performance lectures and improv performances, and work as a creative strategist for Threespot.
Here on the blog, I work on various projects, and am quite fond of remixes, diagrams, spreadsheets, and fragments, among other things.
Here’s me doing my thing:
These are a few of the things I believe.
In general, this is what I do:
- Create experiences.
- Re-mix and improvise any source or structure that I find (from books to lyrics to science experiments to conversations), and play with the results.
- Apply structures and techniques from experimental poetics (among other fields) to various texts and fields (e.g. improvising a divinatory reading through a cognitive science text).
- Slowly build up data / information / knowledge environments, from my work and others, in which to conduct additional research and experimentation.
- Develop a new kind of science-art stemming from the radical dissolution, recombinance, and re-use of all levels of thought and creation, from impulses, to thoughts, to expression of thoughts, to theories and textbooks, to fields and discourses, to culture as “a whole.”
Why? Because:
- We need new experiences.
- We can do the knowledge better.
