1. Ambulance: An Electronic Novel

   Very little information about this work is available online. P. Sugarman writes that "Ambulance is about some Gen-Xers who run into a string of spectacularly bad luck involving a car accident and a serial killer disguised as an ambulance driver. One of the most effective elements here is the music sampling. The droning repetition of the musical phrases, over & over while you absorb slices of the story, gives the whole experience an obsessive, claustrophobic feeling."

2. Six Little Loops

   Artist's statement:

   Maps are metaphors. Through metaphors we connect what we experience to what we remember. We create knowledge by connecting the new (the present) to what we know (the past) and so maybe predict what happens next (the future). 

   Our desire to predict fuels our desire to live, to survive. Desire is the foundation of narrative. Narrative reduces to desire, action and result-the structure of story. We exist in endless loops of desire-layer upon layer of stories of varying temporalities and shifting priorities-all synchronized to rhythms of breath and heart. 

   I make maps. I start with raw code-simple numeric models. As all is number in the computer I can map the numbers to the senses-turn numbers into tangible experience? The maps might loop in time (animation and audio) or freeze in a moment (a still image or print). There is synchrony in the sensory vertical and the temporal horizontal. Image and audio derive from the same numeric source. Each maps the other in the moment and through time. It's a visual music in a synaesthetic counterpoint.
