in the background are seen desks with packing-up as the Eyebeam residency draws to a close, as well as some images of Mary Mattingly's beautiful work, in progress. the large pick is large only in comparison; enlarged sufficiently, it would contain its own complex sonic chamber, audible in any number of resonant ways.
Video from the Engagement Party residence series at MOCA, including work by Knifeandfork (Sue Huang and myself). I make a cameo at :43 (you can see the piece here). Was so much fun. Thx to Aandrea Stang!

A short video by myself and Chihao Yo featuring Jen Vincent and Nupur Mathur. The exercise is exploring the notion of ‘interval’ in a conversation — duration, tempo, cadence. I built a quick Jitter patch to auto-edit the first section (nothing about the timing from the original footage has been altered); Chihao did the second by hand (the order is consistent). In theory we wanted to choose the subjects at random, but it turns out they are great friends, and that made it a better piece.
Part of the Eyebeam Chats series…
