Resume

For the last 20 years I have been chasing a fascination: Exploring the intersections of art, science and technology. There is a connection between the Arts and Sciences which has consistently intrigued and informed the followers of both disciplines. The union of art and science has not been a phenomenon specific to modernity. Throughout history there has been a fine line separating where art ends and science begins; Da Vinci, Kandinsky and Tesla are just a few examples of extraordinary thinkers who have walked that line and made tremendous impact on the way we see the world. Art, and the conceptual techniques it employs, lead to re-examinations of the world that are fundamentally similar to science's way of searching for answers to mysteries that surround us in the physical world; exploration, hypothesis, and discovery.

In the information age, the artist and scientist are increasingly using the same language, consequently carving out new paradigms in techniques, materials and process that are augmenting, informing and redefining both disciplines more and more often. And as technology moves rapidly forward, artists and scientists are looking to one another to help define a world that has become increasing difficult to recognize in the blur of change happening continously around us.

With an emphasis on experimentation and exploration, I too have found my way down this path. My work as a studio artist has continually informed my professional career in technology development and design. After 12 years in the studio, my approach to the development of communication technology has been largely shaped by the same interests that led me forward as an artist: Concern for the future, a fascination with story telling, and a genuine enchantment with technological innovation and the new aesthetics these changes are continually presenting to us. My study and inquiry of this line between the Arts and Science has informed and shaped both the process and subject matter that I have chosen to examine in my work.
