The ideas leading to my current body of work incorporate several concepts 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. Recorded video and sound are processed in real time throughout the installation — data processed then projected back onto the space.

The resulting imagery is subject to change by viewer interaction and site specificity. No two presentations of the work are identical.
