About:
as an artist, i take a systems approach to New Media. i work +
play with technosocially engaged digital art forms attempting to use these systems to
uproot destructive expectations of dominant cultures. my projects are intersections of
various possibilities enabled by New Media, artware, code-based approaches,
instruction sets, conceptualism, Video Art, video games, game art + genre defying activities
that crosswire + shortcircuit such categorical + taxonomical desires.
in my teaching i embrace enthusiasm + criticality while facilitating idiosyncratic
uses of technologies + fostering students' individual approaches. i am committed
to the growth inducing complexities of the [dynamic/decenteralized] classroom,
open to constant learning + insistent about both DIY strategies + the need for
community oriented approaches to learning. my emphasis on open systems + shared
resources is an informed position which respects + values the abilities + interests
of my students.
i engage with the new-ness of New Media in relation to utopian hopes + promises, faded
glories, failed futurisms, "revolutionary" ruptures, remediations of existing
hystorical models + systemic innovations. using open decentralized
[discursive/instructive] models, technological theorypractices + engaged pedagogy
as interdependent features of an [ongoing/enthusiastic] critique, i attempt to
mobilize the micro-revolutionary potential of the classroom. in this way, i remain
a hopeful humanist who genuinely believes in the ability of the temporary community
formed in the classroom to promote [infectious/transformative] growth + excitement.
i find in these hopes + articulations my source of inspiration + commitment to
the teaching of New Media.
