Biostatement:
I am a Professor of Expanded Arts within the School of Art at Arizona State University and Director of the PRISM/3DVP lab--an interdisciplinary 3D modeling and rapid prototyping facility. Outside of ASU, I have served as President of the Board of the Telluride Institute (a high altitude "think and do tank" in Colorado) since 2008.
My work bridges traditional studio concerns and digital media. I am interested in the gap between the virtual space of the computer and the tangible, body-felt reality of sculptural objects. The trajectory of my work is encompassed by what I call "mediated sculpture." At this intersection, the material concerns of the sculptor are in dialogue with the underlying codes and machinic processes of digital media. I see this relationship as dialectical--that is, as a critical synthesis that emerges from two very different ways of seeing and making.
