CAPTAIN EVER'S SUBSTATION
is an interactive installation.

A ship's wheel sits in front of a large porthole window, filled with an animated scene of underwater mountains in subterranean low light. A rumble sounds in the distance. Spinning the wheel turns the landscape, revealing entrenched habitats, winged submarines, lantern boats, sea monsters and machinery intertwined. Everything moves in an unhurried manner, shimmering and flickering, trailing in the current. A farrago of characters, representing confidence, mischievousness, silence, fear, concentration. Messengers and rogues.

Animated video, Public art.

SUBMERGICA is an animated video created for the Big Screen at the IAC Headquarters in New York. The ground floor of the Frank Gehry designed building contains a 120 foot long video wall, 12912x1200 pixels, a massive public space, meant to be seen by travelers along the West Side Highway. The animation plays evenings in the Big Screen gallery rotation. 

In this project, two ghostly submarines bear directly towards each other, slowly traversing the giant screen, each accompanied by a flock of undulating jellyfish. As they meet, the entire scene transforms into the interior view of some unknown vessel, flashing red light illuminating portholes filled with drawings of intertwined and interlocked fish etched in wood.

WATERSHED is a trio of short animated videos referencing the terrain, history and delicate ecology of the Tampa Bay watershed, commissioned for Lights On Tampa 2011. These videos are part of a permanent public collection displayed on outdoor video portals on the Tampa Bay Riverwalk. Each animation takes place within a strata, or level, of a re-imagined watershed. The Watershed triplet comes together to describe a world of atmosphere, light and living beings, traversing the screen. The individual videos each standalone but when seen in succession will contribute to a larger story about the Tampa Bay waterfront.

An old joke as a rumination on political gossip featuring banananimation. Inspired by the constant rumors, scuttlebutt and outright lies posted as news during the last election cycle—it's time to "consider the source" of what we hear.

Vive La Treesistance is a re-imagining of a world post-climate change.  Seen first from above, a very short aerial voyage through a paper archipelago, guarded by an arboreal fleet. Faced with rising oceans, the trees themselves resist climate change by switching to energy conserving fluorescent lights.

AFTER YOU LEAVE documents a mute war, the War of the Trees.  Here we see the trees’ stoic refusal to submit to the dominating infrastructure–aggressive constriction and unremitting subjugation by the sidewalks, fences, buildings and decorative borders in this arboreal battle zone.
