Following is the artist’s statement on the exhibit:

“The ideas leading to my current body of work incorporate several concepts that I have been researching for a number of years. What is included in the gallery involves sound converted video. Individual video frames are converted to sound files and back through algorithmic code. This conversion process involves concepts such as abundance, collection, organization, reconfiguration, juxtaposition and aesthetic elevation.

Most recently, my research has lead into recursion and recursive theory. I enjoy the idea of programming code that is both self-referential and generational. Although the algorithms I write to process the video are not recursive alone, the relationship established between the original video and its sound counterpart resonates with recursive parallels.

With regards to my installation work, original video of the interior space is shot. This video processed with the result projected back onto the space. The resulting imagery is subject to change in relation to the definition of the space.”
