Seeking the Techno-Sublime

Excerpt from my #artistStatement for “For(Loop) Illumination,” 2020, the #illuminatedManuscript project I’m nearly finished with I’m very excited that these 8 drawings will be spending March in Mississippi at @misbits_nma for the alumni retrospective exhibit #Vertical Honored to be a part of this gallery’s continuing success paving the way for #newMediaArt in Oxford MS! #codingillumination #coding #worksinprogress #gouache #ink #digital #calligraphy #olemiss #misbits #oxfordms #worksonpaper https://ift.tt/39TsHqV

😓😓 moving day approaching quickly. [the before shot] The downside of having a studio in your home is that moving means packing up your home and your work all at the same time... #studioShot #artistlife #studio #packing https://ift.tt/2lfElEU

What do you do with the #ToysRusClosing when you have unused gift cards from your 1 year old’s baby shower? - Step 1: stock up on diapers - Step 2: divide the remaining money evenly among the wife and kids and fulfill lifelong fantasies by pretending you’re on Supermarket Sweep. - The 5yr old took up most of our “team’s” time locating a mustachioed Mario sunglass mask and the board game Mousetrap, but I managed to nab this #VRheadset before time ran out! - Finally an excuse to dive into #googlecardboard and learn how to create some #virtualreality #artwork! Been on the to do list ever since experiencing #jeremycoulliard #outofbodyexperienceclinic in 2015. Here we go! - #newmediaart #worksinprogress #vr #immersiveart #technosublime https://ift.tt/2GDbyTW

Feeling blue. 5 #projectors masked and mapped to the ceiling. Ready to immerse some viewers inside an image, pixel by pixel! #sneakpeek #worksinprogress #wip @misbits_nma #contemporaryart #installation #immersive #immersivelight #lightart #newmediaart #projectionart http://ift.tt/2xekef0

Blue Period. #worksinprogress testing out some #projector configurations. Nothing like a white ceiling to help with ambient lighting! #nofilter #lightart #pushbuttonprayerbeads @misbits_nma #contemporaryart #projectionart #installationart #oxfordms #olemiss #newmediaart #meditation http://ift.tt/2yFYBrr

#Sneakpeek... on the left, the reference imagery, meditative images chosen from an array at #random. The beads iterate through the image pixel by pixel, fading in and out each of each pixel's color on the right. But instead of on my screen, you'll be immersed in the color as it fills the walls and takes over the room! Coming soon! "For(Loop) {Meditations;}" opens Tuesday! @misbits_nma #worksinprogress #processing #arduino #pushbuttonprayerbeads #mississippi #newmediaart #contemporaryart #immersiveart #diy #3dprinting #coding #forloopmeditations #forloop #lightart http://ift.tt/2zlWeHv
