research interests:

2000-present

Synnoetics

Exploring the notion of Synnoetics, or information exchange between plants, animals, humans, machines, and the ineffable; and the potential for a synnoetic system to form a power of knowing, or consciousness, greater than the sum of the parts.

Research in form of theoretical writing and exhibited artwork

2000-present

The Aesthetics of Gaming, Gender and Gaming, Gaming Engines

examination of artist’s uses of gaming, games as an artistic medium; of issues related to gaming, gender, violence, and the aesthetics of war; and uses of gaming engines for building artistic virtual environments.

Research initiated with the sponsorship of a group independent study, “RealTime Artistic Gaming” , for which organized a number of readings critical of the genre. I also wrote a critical review of “The Visual History of the VideoGame Age” and recently incorporated documentation of artists uses of gaming. I am using a gaming engine in my “Art and Virtual Environments” class.

2001-present

Development of an Inexpensive “DIY” Virtual Reality Platform

investigations into current computer developments that facilitate off the shelf creation of high-resolution, large scale, portable, inexpensive VR platforms.

Research includes seeking hardware and software solutions in gaming industry, the use of technological interfaces developed for the physically challenged, and participation in a consortium of like-minded developers, mostly in the sciences.

1992-present

Art and Science Collaboration

research into forms, both historical and potential, of collaboration between artists and scientists. Examination and creation of models for art/science collaboration.

Research to date in form of collaborative project, exhibited collaborative artwork, grant applications to NSF and SPAR, and co-authored papers presented at conferences.

2000-present

Presence and the Aesthetic Experience in Artistic Virtual Environments

collaborative research involving qualitative and quantitative studies on the nature of presence in artistic virtual environments. Research findings used in subsequent iterations of virtual environment.

Research involves collaborative research in creation of studies, statistical analysis, experiments and observation, co-authoring papers and presentations, and creating a collaborative virtual environment

1999-present

The Aesthetics of Interactivity

defining an aesthetics of interactivity in art through considerations of developments in cybernetics, biometrics, psi phenomena, and the history of art.

Research to date in form of reading and theoretical writing

1998-present

Consciousness and Art

research into the relationships between human consciousness and artistic process.

Research includes participation in conferences presenting most recent research into the science and art of consciousness studies, and the production of an iterative virtual environment attempting to visualize consciousness.

1991-present

Identity Construction as an “Aesthetic Oeuvre”

on-going examination of the implications and impact of digital technology, networking, surveillance, and ubiquitous computing on traditional notions of the essential self, and post-modern notions of the constructed self.

Research methodology includes the construction of a number of works of art, publication of three essays, and presentations at numerous international conferences and discussions on the topic.
