1. Give Me Your Light

   One day in 2008 in Malaysia, by chance, I videotaped two starkly ordinary events: a dying kitten and a chained monkey. Give me Your Light explores the archetypal capacity of these creatures. The archetypes are death and enslavement. The dying abandoned kitten in a parking lot stands-in for the fatally ill, homeless runaways and abandoned children. The chained monkey suggests slaves, prisoners, abductees, captives, convicts, detainees and internees. Give me Your Light is about the limits of empathy and ubiquitous complicity. The display of Give me Your Light is not a linear video, it is a set of video-clips, sounds, music and words reassembled every two minutes into a new sequence by an algorithm. Events repeat but never in the same order. Clips appear in both monochrome and colour, with music and without, with sound and silent. Contextual structure and affective content collide.

2. Let’s Play: Ancient Greek Punishment: CPU Edition!

   Let’s Play is part of an ongoing series of games based on ancient Greek figures
   and their punishments. Sisyphus, Prometheus, Tantalus, Danaids and Zeno, the
   philosopher known for his paradoxes, are represented by the CPU player, the
   computer’s Central Processing Unit. In this CPU edition, the computer does it all
   by itself, both simulating and playing the game, cutting out the player entirely.
   Every time the reload button is activated, the game starts afresh. It may seem
   like watching an animated GIF or a video file, but it’s the computer playing,
   pushing a rock or having its liver eaten. Again and again. Let’s Play presents a
   world closed in on itself, behaving according to its own logic, its own code. A
   world stuck in a frustrating loop.
