History
I have been making New Media works since graduating from the Western Front Multimedia training program in 1995. Many of these were bespoke pieces for performance or rolled into performance works once they were completed. Stand-alone works are included in the list to the right, in roughly chronological order. Websites in the lower list are entirely my work.
As with the sites listed, some works are not necessarily art pieces, but things created in service of artists. The latest of these is "An Indian Act: Shooting the Indian Act", a Flash-based CD-ROM document of Lawrence Paul Yuxweluptun's 1997 performance and exhibition.
Also in this category is the video system I developed in collaboration with Christoph Runne for Full Circle's "The River - Home". Using MAX/MSP software we created a three-screen projection application running from a G4 PowerBook. The laptop ran full-screen QuickTime movies, while controlling two DVD players via RS-232. The interface featured a drop-down menu with all the show cues. To begin the performance you selected cue one and clicked go. After that the cue selection was self-incrementing: all you had to do was click go on the stage manager's call. Three separate, synchronized video sources, one button. Sweet!
Currently in development is Version 2.0 of the digital drum used in "Horse", and "Cîpayak Nîmihitowak", a new web piece about the Northern Lights. Stayed tuned for further developments.
