My current work addresses the production of food in modern American society. From factory farming to locally raised produce, I seek to explore what may be one of the most pressing issues of our time in a lighthearted and approachable manner. It is widely acknowledged that the industrialization of food manufacturing has transformed the lives, habits, and bodies of Americans, as well as alerted the way that most of our society thinks-or doesn’t think-about where food comes from and what food is. I create digitally fabricated representations of animals that are engineered and produced, and may have more in common with products or raw materials than other living creatures. These animals, which are designed, fabricated and then placed on assembly lines that guide their existence from inception to processing, include chickens, cows, pigs, and fish. My work is also concerned with edible plants and their role in our lives both historically and presently. Plants as well as animals are now being generated inside laboratories, and travel unimaginable distances to reach our supermarkets and tables. This is a marvel of human technology and global society as well as a complex system that may need re-working if humanity is to move toward a sustainable future.
I hope that I can put what goes onto your plate into your thoughts as well.
Computer, Massive Parallel Processor, Processor Unit & Expansion Unit.
This is part of an experimental computer, developed in the mid-1980s by the Goodyear Aerospace Corporation for the Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. The comptuer derives it name from its ability to operate on large arrays of data in parallel, i.e. on many numbers at once. By contrast, computers of conventional design operate on one or at most a few pieces of data per cycle. One intended application for such a design was the analysis of the large amounts of data received by remote sensing satelliltes.
The Massively Parallel Processor represented one of several approaches to the problem of processing data in parallel. Nearly all modern supercomputers use parallel processing, although not all follow this machine's architecture.
Transferred from NASA to the Museum in 1996.

Polaroid CP3 Experimental process
Have you ever seen something you have been imagining for days and never spoken of, suddenly represented by another artist in Flickr?? Has it ever happened to you that the type of art you do suddenly appears in your favourite artist or bands´ artwork without them having possibly known? This sort of coincidence is known as Synchronicity but a group of artists and I have been observing the amount of times these coincidences happen. It has happened at least once to almost every person. This is a glimpse of what the scientific term of Collective Unconscious means and how it permeates reality, as science has shown before. The experiment we are about to embark on is based not on promoting synchronistic phenomena but merely on registering each time this happens until we have a large list of these synchronistic phenomena and can find general common factors. There is a place where all thoughts from everyone come together, the place where we dream things that happen or that dont, the place of beauty and art, our dreams. If this has happened to you, you would be helping an ongoing investigation if either you just mentioned it has happened to you (the mere affirmative has statistical value) or you kindly described your case as a comment on this journal. I will let all those who participate know the final result.
All of these structures are based on a dodecahedron core (the 12 sided dice from your D&D days). 1000+ particles.
I'm making 100 copies of my extended 'chapbook' of poetry, THE BOOK OF SPLENDOR (a very humble title, I know). These photos show some of the process involved in making the covers and developing the setup for the book.
I have this cool app on my phone, that I did this cross process effect on this pic, let me know what you think!
The long process of making the pink rose. Best seen in real size - all the progress paintings look much sharper.
