1. Voyage Into the Unknown

   On May 25, 1869, you join the crew of one-armed Civil War veteran John Wesley Powell along with eight other fellow veterans, hunters and trappers, in an attempt to be the first to navigate the Colorado River through the vast unmapped maze of canyons in the heart of the Great American Desert. Playing the role of one of the crew members, you are well aware that no European-American has boated the formidable Colorado River -- not, at least, and written about it. Turning inward... this is, perhaps, the final American frontier, a terra incognita. This Flash-based interactive work is constructed using an innovative, sequentially loading horizontally scrolling format in which users travel across fiction and documentary artifact. You will travel across writing modes as well as spaces. Knowledge may lie in traveling among such modes. First comes the adventure, then comes its representation. Much later, comes critical examination, and, perhaps, as a whole, re-invention... The work uses the interactive format to bridge genres and modes of expression.

2. Väljarna/Elect

   Online work first published in 2008. Main theme: nature. As the work is loading, a quote appears: "It's not safe out here. It's wondrous." The fog shifts to reveal a lone tree, a flock of birds scatter. A deep drone is sounding. When attempting to click on the birds different texts are activated. When managing to "catch" one of the birds, one of the previously dimmed texts will appear.

3. Rockface II

   Rockface II revisions the classic landscapes of the Canadian Rockies, using transition to systematically deconstruct and recombine the mountain scenery. In the process, the work explores concepts of pictorialism, scale, time and metamorphosis. At the same time, it examines liminality of narrative through the introduction of subtly embedded human imagery.

4. Nature on a Leash

   "Nature On A Leash" is an idiosyncratic animated portrait of nature as an extension of the built environment, where suburbanites collect, redesign and objectify the "natural world" for its entertainment, recreational and decorative use value.

   Artist Statement
   "Nature On A Leash" is an idiosyncratic portrait of nature as an extension of the built environment. In this short video, suburbanites collect, redesign and objectify the "natural world" for its entertainment, recreational and decorative use value. Cars drive on beaches, starfish crawl across balconies, and pelicans travel on motor boats. A series of living postcards and ambient sounds transport the viewer through an everyday "to do" list that is simultaneously real, surreal and unreal.
