The work I produce addresses several themes in a variety of media but almost always employs a narrative element and a fascination with disruption. We overextend ourselves as human beings, beyond a point of physical and emotional exhaustion. At times this work deals with a certain flatness of the contemporary condition, wherein the human material is so exhausted, that we no longer have the emotional resources to absorb the gravity of truth. When epic scale events are forecast to the point, a finite number of zeros and ones away, what becomes manifest? Our lives and all the extensions thereof, become compressed. Our personal tools of communication, that mimic reality, do nothing but provide a further layer of detachmnet and confusion. Is it even possible to search for the meaning of our metaphysicalilty, within the same context as ""Reality Programming""? When our day to day existence encounters double meaning as a technique of misinformation, within commercial and political contexts, we are bound to feel a sense of shock and awe. Irony and subsequently sincerity have collapsed as forms of communication, at least within the cultural context.
