Hookers and Autobots (Audio Commentaries)

Hookers and Autobots is the generic name I have assigned to the DVD-style audio commentaries I have been recording for popular films. I chose random movies that I had no physical connection with and recorded an improvisational commentary track to go with them. Originally this project started by recording these commentaries myself and then realized I that adding another person to the mix would help the overall flow. The commentaries turned into a dialogue that branched off into random subjects that had some vague origin with the original film but no logical parallel. [June 2009 - Ongoing]

An Obeisance to Marshall Applewhite

An Obeisance to Marshall Applewhite is a hotel room installation included in Showtel 8 at Hotel Biba in West Palm Beach, Florida. Teaming together with Jordi Williams we created a installation that transformed the room into a new realm.

Viewer-participants are invited to become fully emerged in sound, light, video and texture approximating an artificial plant grow-room in space. Plastic plant-clumps and an astroturf floor set an eerie backdrop for a spacey soundscape created live by a spaceman cult leader. Surrounded and disoriented by darkly reflective walls and ceiling, viewers may lounge on shiny pods amid the synthetic landscape to bask with the members of Heaven’s Gate outside of space and time.

Male Chauvinist Pig (Ode to Biff)

Chauvinism, in its original and primary meaning, is an exaggerated, bellicose patriotism and a blind belief in national superiority and glory. Male chauvinism has occurred probably since the dawn of man and it continues to this day. As a symbol of the penultimate male, imagery of Sean Connery appears in a storefront window with typical male chauvinistic jokes superimposed overtop. [March 2010]
