:: Ghost City

is an ever changing website that was begun in 1997 and is
constantly updated. It is a virtual city that has become an archive of changing web
technologies. Ghost city has no physical space or real time beyond the space and
time of the viewer’s interaction with the screen. It explores the capacity of
mediated images to trigger memory and reverie. Ghost City focuses on the
representation of the city by the mass media. It uses the space of the web as a
sculptural space, allowing viewers to interact with animated graphics to delve
deeper and deeper into an imaginary city.

:: Disembodied Voices

is a meditation on the nature of public space. It is a
visual representation of how different bodies communicate across space, using cell phones as a metaphor for the new translocal of connected, yet disembodied voices, linked across space invisibly - forming an unseen network of wanderers, always within reach yet nowhere in sight. This site illustrates the collision of the personal/private and public space. As the line between public and private continues to blur intimate transactions have become audible to anyone within earshot. Where we are, in a sense, no longer matters since we are always connected. Using the cell phone as a metaphor, this project connects users and
investigates the changing nature of public space into a wirelessly connected translocal, where each person is a node in the network.

:: Crowds and Power

uses mediated images to explore the relationship between space, memory, and territory. Windows containing image fragments emphasize the displacement of individuals and the transformation of urban space where large gatherings, demonstrations, and struggles are represented. By juxtaposing charged images with theoretical and philosphical texts about the nature of crowds
this website explores internal and external conflicts.
