I will be co-leading a workshop with Denise Gonzales Crisp in Michigan this Summer.

I’ll be joining the Art and Technology Studies Faculty at SAIC in Chicago this fall.

Hello World! formed the backdrop for a recent special Kulturplatz Extra report on Swiss Television (Schweizer Fernsehen). The special focuses in on the theme: “Living with the computer: blessing or curse?” The reports range from the hippie roots of personal computing in silicon valley, to robot therapy for the elderly. A really interesting episode actually.

Here is a collection of shots that included the piece:

Additionally the curator, Beatrice Tobler was invited to blog for SF this month. Looking forward to seeing more of her thoughts here.

Hello World! is currently showing at the Museum of Communication in Bern, Switzerland.

Rod Smith just wrote an article about my work for the the City Pages. It runs alongside previews from some great Minneapolis artist/venues like the Jungle Theater, Trylon Cinema, and Bob Hammel’s new film SOLO: 1 X 2. Find it online now and on MSP newsstands Wed morning, September 16th.

A new work entitled Murmur Study debuted at the 2009 Spark Festival this past week. It is now on display at the Experimental and Media Arts show at the Nash Gallery through the end of March.

Murmur Study is the first in a series of ongoing collaborations with Márton András Juhász and the Kitchen Budapest.

On October 9th, I begin a year-long artist residency at Kitchen Budapest new media and innovation lab.

Some of my work will be appearing in really interesting looking book called Data Flow – Visualising Information in Graphic Design, edited by R. Klanten, N. Bourquin, S. Ehmann, F. van Heerden.

From the publisher:

The application of diagrams extends beyond its classical field of use today. Data Flow charts this development, introduces the expansive scope of innovatively designed diagrams and presents an abundant range of possibilities in visualising data and information. These range from chart-like diagrams such as bar, plot, line diagrams and spider charts, graph-based diagrams including line, matrix, process flow, and molecular diagrams to extremely complex three-dimensional diagrams. Data Flow is an up-to-date survey providing cutting-edge aesthetics and inspirational solutions for designers, and at the same time unlocks a new field of visual codes.

The book will see its Continental European release in early September. Its release in Asia will follow at the end of the September and its North American release is scheduled for mid October.

You can preview it here or preorder it here.
