The bathroom mirror as the site for private rehearsal of the public
persona is explored through a series of long-take performances through a magical post production circuit. This series functions as a
digital update to the early auto-performance video work of artists such
as Vito Accanci and Will Wegman. Here, instead of the live
self-monitored video feed being the situation of performance, it is the
digital circuit, the performer interacting with not only his own
monitored image, but the knowledge of the magical post-production that
will occur.

52 Card Psycho is an installation-based investigation into cinematic
structures and interactive cinema viewership using augmented reality
technology. The concept is simple: a deck of 52 cards, each printed
with a unique identifier, are replaced in the subject's view by the 52
individual shots that make up Hitchcock's famous shower scene in
Psycho. The cards can be manipulated by the viewer: stacked, dealt,
arranged in their original order or re-composed in different
configurations, creating spreads of time, and allowing a material
interaction with the 'cinema screen'.
