  1. Re:Cycle

    Re:Cycle is a generative ambient video art piece based on nature imagery captured in the Canadian Rocky Mountains.  Ambient video is designed to play in the background of our lives.  It is a moving image form that is consistent with the ubiquitous distribution of ever-larger video screens. The visual aesthetic supports a viewing stance alternative to mainstream media - one that is quieter and more contemplative - an aesthetic of calmness rather than enforced immersion.  An ambient video work is therefore difficult to create - it can never require our attention, but must always rewards viewer attention when offered.  A central aesthetic challenge for this form is that it must also support repeated viewing.  Re:Cycle relies on a generative recombinant strategy for ongoing variability, and therefore a higher measure of re-playability.  It does so through the use of two random-access databases: one database of video clips, and another of video transition effects.  The piece will run indefinitely, joining clips and transitions from the two databases in randomly varied combinations.

  2. 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.

  4. In de storm van zo straks

    In an empty landscape a storm is announced by uprising sand, moving objects, silent people and a traffic jam on a narrow road.
