‘confessional’ contains a re-captcha to confirm the viewer’s humanity. after entering proving humanity, the viewer begins confession, in which their confession is broadcasted into the next room for other viewers. this room contains motion sensors that react to movement and trigger distorting effects on the video feed of the confessional. these motion sensors also trigger sounds and tones simulating the experience of overstimulation of omnipotent voyeurism.

on-line is a motion-activated soundscape intended to simulate the constant logging on and off internet users. on-line looks at the rise and fall of online activity as similar to the crests and troughs of the ocean surface. these features can be individually recognizable but exist as one connected system. actions can ripple across the surface of this system. sonically, on-line pulls from explorations of theta brainwave activity applied to binaural audio in an effort to promote a meditative experience through the synchronization of theta brainwaves.

apollo 8 is a projection of the live broadcast from the apollo 8 spacecraft while orbiting the moon.
the crew of apollo 8 were the first humans in lunar orbit. apollo 8’s christmas eve message was the most watched tv event to date.
nasa did not provide instructions for the broadcast, only asking the crew to do something “appropriate” for the holiday.
the crew of the apollo 8 take turn reading from the book of genesis, a selection the crew chose because of its role in the foundations of “many of the world’s religions.”

Cracked Lips - 2017 Video, Projector, Microphone, WebCam, MaxMSP. Screenshot from recorded video while installed in Student Galleries South. Cracked Lips is a looped video projection that is distorted by live sound. Incoming audio distorts the looped video and allows a live webcam video to fill the gaps caused by the glitching.
Nicholas Minor Mapes - 2016. Videos, Projector, MaxMSP, Midi Controller. Still image from installation at the Holland Project Gallery. Videos of the Mapes Hotel being demolished in 2000. Videos were glitched in MaxMSP and controlled with a Midi Controller stationed in the gallery to allow viewers to take part in the demolition and digital deconstruction of the videos.
