Unknown Territories
An interactive series about the exploration, exploitation and transformation of the American West.
Following works by John Wesley Powell and Edward Abbey, filmmaker Roderick Coover creates actual and virtual explorations into the places they wrote about, the landscapes they imagined and contemporary land use.
When John Wesley Powell first navigated the Colorado River in 1869, much of the great American desert was marked on U.S. government maps as an "unknown territory" -- unmapped lands known only to native cultures. His works name, narrative and mythologize the West and his encounters within it. Ironically, later, as U.S. Geographer, Powell came to recognized perils of unsustainable development, but his calls to restrict growth to natural watersheds were rejected.

Occupy London (with Cartoons)
During the Occupy protest at St Pauls Cathedral in London, there were many drawings and paintings sellotaped to the walls; the area became a public Art gallery. Works full of slogans and messages, full of passion.
While visiting the site, it occurred to me that many people want to express their views in this way, and contribute their own art work to share with Occupy London, to express their support and solidarity; but they couldn’t physically be there.
I built an online cartoon tool to makes it easy to make political cartoons to support Occupy London. Once a week I printed them, went to St Pauls and put them on display. I also exhibited the cartoons in other places, such as cafes and bookshops, to get wider exposure.
Well known artists contributed work, and we built up a big stock of ‘ready-made’ fantastic drawings and cartoons – for everyone to remix.
The project is a collectively authored and networked satire, giving everyone a chance to participate/ support/ speak out/ in a creative way.

Breathe
Breathe is a prototype for a networked installation that is connected to a proposed mindfulness phone application Compos(ur)e. The application is inspired by Buddhist monk and poet Thich Nhat Hanh’s practices of incorporating mindfulness into everyday experiences, in particular the practice of turning elements of the world we encounter into ‘bells of mindfulness’.
Compos(ur)e will be a mobile phone application that enables a social network of people to create technological bells of mindfulness for one another. When a user breathes into their phone they ring a bell for themselves and send a bell to someone else in the network. The users in the network are linked anonymously; the users share an intention to transform the way they hear the bells that call out from their mobile device. This interconnection is materialised in a mobile phone installation, composed of the connections made in the application. The mobile phone application sends notifications between the application users and also to the artwork.
This work was supported by The Awesome Foundation (Sydney) and the College of Fine Arts.

El Hacedor (de Borges), Remake
This multimedia work is a remake of the 1960s collection "El hacedor" by Jorge Luis Borges. Agustín Fernández Mallo maintains the structure and chapter titles, but changes the content to demonstrate how the material gains symbolic significance over time. One paradigmatic example includes the remake of Borges's story "Mutations". Agustín Fernández Mallo's take on it presents a narrator who recreates Robert Smithson's 1967 famous journey through the use of google maps as well as images that compare the journeys. In this regard, the text conveys a comparison between the in-person and the virtual journeys, thereby exploring the temporal difference and the impacts of technology and societal context.

hatchet
hatchet (video - 29 seconds, in color with sound)
hatchet is a fright of fancy - a concrete poem part rage, part fear. Decapitated segments are propelled in phonetic sequences suggesting threat, violence (domestic violence, stalking, rape) and escape. Words moving, pulled, hacked, torn and swallowed in a scream and blood red tear-drop; fighting flies; a “hatchet” refrain in whispers chugging like a train or train of thought locked in madness or fear. Audio recordings of trains squealing, a girl’s metallic screams and a cloying backdrop of “Tonight You Belong to Me” sung by Patience & Prudence are used, in part, to depict the tumbling psychological confusion often resonant in these crimes (e.g., she was asking for it; I made him mad; etc.).

Do You Have Balls?
"Do You Have Balls?" is a slideshow prose-poem by Richard Holeton that explores issues of masculinity and the body. The presenter muses about how the presence or absence of testes affects his feelings of self-worth and way of relating to others. Each of the section headings is an iteration of the Seussian mantra: "Yes, I have ___ ball(s), and you have ___" Holeton previously experimented with the slideshow format in his works: "Voyeur With Dog" (2009) and "Custom Orthotics Changed My Life" (2010). As with these other slideshow fiction pieces, "Do You Have Balls?" incorporates elements like: bullet points, large, easy-to-read text, still images, graphs and tables, a summary of key points, and even a closing Thank You slide.
