    “You got 2 have a dream, cuz if you don’t got a dream, how u gonna have a dream come true?”

    “To sleep is to elevate the standard of boredom; to sleep and dream of boredom is to elevate the standard of nightmares” -Some poet somewhere, I think maybe. Unless I dreamt it.

    Re-enactments, re-interpretations and re-imaginings sourced from the collective unconsciousness’ lame dream journal (which also manifests itself as a tumblr at lamedreamjournal.tumblr.com)

    Pre-Enactment of Rubbing a Hole in My Corpse, Variations on the Shadow My Decaying Corpse Will Cast, and Proposal For Actions To Be Performed With My Ashes Once I have Deceased are animations and a video from my series of work titled Rehearsals. These particular works rehearse performances that my body will enact once I have died, extending the hand and presence of the artist into the realm of post-breath. In addition to the videos, myself and my students will give a live play by play analysis reviewing the rehearsals.

    Picture This is a fictionalized “How To” music video created for millennials.

    Through the use of robotics and 3D worlds, the viewer is instructed to use a series of impractical robots to navigate the exaggerated struggles of a young person’s life.

    Set in impossible worlds to uptempo music, “Picture This” exists in a space between an internet meme, popup advertisement, and a web sketch-comedy show.

    I gave them my picture… *swoon* They’re an artist…. *swoon*

    I paid them to play with me, Hell Resident, to play with my pictures… to write about my body. I found them online, Hell Resident. We didn’t talk that much. I paid him to edit pics of me and write stories about me. I am reciting two of these stories in “3 Women”.

    “SKKKKKKRAAATTCHHH” Split right down the middle!

    “PLUGGEE PUMMMMPLLEEE” “SMMEEESSHHH” smooshed right into a ball!

    “Roll that ball into the hole!”

    *Roll it into a hole*

    Superficie des Continents (The Area of the Continents) is an archival-noise music film that explores various concepts of the surface of the earth, whether synthetic, natural, in extreme close-up or from a very far distance. Featuring the synth-drone feedback loop music of artist-musician Peter Edwards, the film oscillates between nature and human, surface and substance, outer space and plant life, while itself creating a feedback back loop between archival footage and new syntheses of it. The film was created with archival footage from educational and science film archives of the Eye Film Institute Archive, the National Film Archives of the Netherlands.

    1-800-GET-LOST consists of four experimental video remixes (1-800-FICTION, Bleach FormulaHeikki Laaksonen’s Silent Syllables, and Pink Trilogy). The project addresses the moment when the countless struggle to establish a sense of connectedness eventually conjure up an endless nightmare that overwhelms the physicality of life.

    By reediting and overlaying language, pop-culture phenomenon, smartphone clips, and found footages from the Internet, the convolution of layered moments will demonstrate the itineraries to the nature of chaos, or the views of induced panic.

    A mining of a digital space finds characters and forms in dialogue, and a playful hint of narrative begins to emerge in this twice-appropriated landscape. Eventually, the great Apparition lets it all fall down.
