Getting ready for baby! Could be any day now!!!

In other news, I sent some work to Chris Ashley for a small show at his Some Walls gallery. Which makes me really happy because I've been a fan of his for a few years now.

In talks with a different gallery in Algoma, WI for a show this winter. It will probably be some sort of monitor or animation installation. By then I should have a new work out. In the meantime, you may have missed these on my blog, but I've also been developing some animated gif pages. Let them load and watch the tiling gif animations!!!! Then click the page to go to the next... its like a strange gallery of animated gridworks.

 

9 (disambiguation), Performance documentation , also viewable on Vimeo

As part of a performance art showcase, I drew the number 9 and recorded a time-lapse for animation - in a quest to conjure the spirit of nine and attain nineness.

Lots more going on. But for once I'll just put some images in here and see how that goes. As always, feel free to contact me if you have questions about anything.

Update: July, 2k9

Finished a Summer term course called NET+ART, and if you're interested in seeing the student work, check out one of our projects at the PantherTrick Blog. There should be links in some of the posts to take you to what their individual projects. It was fast and furious, but some really intersting things came out of it.

A new project with Brandon Bauer has just been released in its first issue. Its a web zine for free in .pdf form. Follow this link "Crunch Crisis". We'll be releasing more issues soon... they zine will be semi-regular.

Crosstalk Video Art Festival in Budapest Hungary happened at the end of June and FILE Festival in Sao Paulo Brazil, is about to happen. Both will be showing one of my works. Flickers of Recognition: Technology and the Self Portrait in Door County Wisconsin is almost over... it comes down on the 17th of July so be sure to check into it if you happen to be on vacation in Wisconsin. And as always, if you've seen my work drop me a line and tell me what you think!

Update: May, 2k9

There's been a lot going on around these parts! First, there are some upcoming shows here and abroad that "gridworks2000-anim09" will be screened at. In no particular order: FILE Festival in Sao Paulo Brazil, Crosstalk Video Art Festival in Budapest Hungary, Flickers of Recognition: Technology and the Self Portrait in Door County Wisconsin. A gridworks2000 drawing related to that project has also been included in the Visionary Drawing Building project.

Ongoing - the gridworks video sketch series has a new video up and has also bled over into a project that will be screened with a live performance of the band Dear Astronaut at the Borg Ward Collective at the end of May. Its a special even and the sub-title for the 45+ minute video I'm working on for them is called "Voyage of the Dear Astronaut" and incorporates extensive amounts of Datamoshing.

Finally finished work on gridworks-videosketch-04 and included work with RGB MusicLab to create the sound for the sketch.

Update: April, 2k9

A little experiment with creating QTVR interactive environment out of gridworks2000 collages. I think there may be some possiblities here in terms of creating the grid world that I see.

New video sketches uploaded here: "gridworks-videosketch-01", "gridworks-videosketch-02", and "gridworks-videosketch-03"

Possible show coming up this summer, more soon. In addition, images from Milwaukee Spring Gallery Night and some other recent work up in the images section of the site.

Update: Mar. 17, 2k9

"gridworks2000-anim09" will be screened atTerminal 1st Annual Short Film Festival in Clarksville, TN next month. Later this month it will be screened at the Present Music Event Flight Box at Milwaukee Art Museum which I also showed at last Spring. I guess that makes up for the show that was recently canceled in Milwaukee... too bad because I would have only shown drawings! Also have updated the images page with some more recent work.

Update: Mar. 10, 2k9

"gridworks2000-anim09" has been submitted to a bunch of festivals. And, it is now for sale on DVD!!!! Check it Out!!!!

Update: Feb. 26, 2k9

It looks like I will still be in Milwaukee for at least another year! I've finally finished the new animation video "gridworks2000-anim09". Please give the file a minute or two to load... its kind of large... but it has sound and looks good so it's worth it. "gridworks2000-anim09" smaller version if you can't wait.And, it looks like the show at Interontinental Hotel here in Milwaukee will is cancelled.

Update: Jan. 28, 2k9

No news is... okay news. Show at Intercontinental postponed until March. April I present at FATE conference. And I've added a new animation and documentation videos.

In Milwaukee: January 16th, Gallery Night Film/Video Show
CRAMER-KRASSELT – (246 E. Chicago St. - 414.227.3500 - www.c-k.com) "Time-Based Media". A collection of video, animation and digital technology by local artists. Friday: 6 to 9pm. This show includes 17 films/videos by Milwaukee area content creators. I've heard it my be Milwaukee's first exclusively film/video Gallery Night event.

A show of "gridworks2000" will open on March 7, 2009 at Milwaukee's Intercontinental Hotel Gallery. The show will consist entirely of drawings, both digital and ink on paper. This will be the first show I've done with only works on paper. However, Master-List2000 will be sponsoring the show and doing an opening performance of some sort. They haven't told me what exactly yet, but I'm thankful for all of their support. Especially considering the inspiration for the drawings come from my previous work for them.

Thanks again to Steve Lambert and the Add-Art Firefox plugin for the online show a few weeks ago. I got some great screenshots of my work on other important websites. That plugin is also up on the Artzilla show website. I highly recommend it.

Continued work, research, and development on the creation of drawing based grid fonts. Eventually these may be worked into bookform.

Update: Dec. 18, 2k8

Some of the gridworks2000 project will be displayed for a while as part of the Add-Art Firefox plugin. Its been developed mostly by Steve Lambert as part of his work at EYEBEAM in the NYC.

Add-Art replaces advertising banners with a rotating art show. I've had it for a bit and really love the work that is displayed. I started submitting gridworks2000 stuff earlier this fall and just got the notice that it would be called up starting tonight.
Thanks Steve!!!

I've also put together my application... I just submitted it to 4 universities.

Check out the Beer Barons and Brewery Workers project I developed with Brandon Bauer last spring.

Just updated the look of the site!
