"Billie Jean" — 2007, multi-channel video for 3-screen installation,
4min.
exhibition/screening: Gallery 164, Buffalo, NY; Hamilton Art Gallery, Ontario.
Each screen displays one of three sequential performances that are synced into a new 'live' time. Loosely choreographed dance is performed to the un-heard soundtrack of Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean" playing to headphones. The three tracks of binaural audio captures the embodied music of the steps and scratches of feet dancing on the floor: the transcendent awkward detritus of this common dis-embodied situation. The three performances, exactly synced with the music playing un-heard in each, create a virtual dance playspace where I meet myself.

Weekend — 2007, digital photograph displayed in slices in a slideshow LCD frame
The frames of the famous tracking shot of Godard's Weekend are algorythmically stitched together into a panorama. The digital translation of time into space creates a crystalline structure of success and failure, collisions of impossible space and violence.
