1. PRY

   Six years ago, James – a demolition expert – returned from the Gulf War. Explore James’ mind as his vision fails and his past collides with his present. PRY is a book without borders: a hybrid of cinema, gaming, and text. At any point, pinch James’ eyes open to witness his external world or pry apart the text of his thoughts to dive deeper into his subconscious. Through these and other unique reading interactions, unravel the fabric of memory and discover a story shaped by the lies we tell ourselves: lies revealed when you pull apart the narrative and read between the lines.

2. Collocations

   Collocations is a work of experimental writing that explores the philosophical implications of quantum mechanics by appropriating and transforming two key texts from Niels Bohr and Albert Einstein’s historic debates about the complementary relationship between position and momentum. By interacting with Collocations, the user turns into an experimenter, observing and physically manipulating the device to materialize unique textual configurations that emerge from within Bohr and Einstein’s original writings. Striking a balance between predetermined and algorithmically influenced texts, Collocations constructs a new quantum poetics, disrupting classical notions of textuality and offering new possibilities for reading.

3. Gateway to the World

   Gateway to the World is a mobile application designed to run on an iPad2 / iPad mini or later models. This work was created specifically for the SILT exhibition, hosted in Hamburg, Germany in June 2014. I took this exhibition as an opportunity to research the city of Hamburg and discovered that it had one of the largest ports in the world; its name Gateway to the World (GttW) seemed like a great title for the app. The vast and busy port served as a metaphor for the immensity of the Internet, the flow of information and its meaning of openness and outreach to the World Wide Web. The aim of the app was to use open data from the maritime databases to visualize the routes of the vessels arriving to and from the Port of Hamburg, as well as have the vessels’ names mapped to Wikipedia entries. As the vessels move they act as writing tools to reveal a string of text creating calligramatic forms of information pulled from Wikipedia entries about the name of the vessels.
