World of Awe is a multidisciplinary project ongoing since 1995. Fantastical memoirs and epistolary texts in multiple languages, computer source code, cross-sections of languages, and large numbers, take form in sculpture, Internet technology, photography, drawing, music and more.
The Traveler's Journal is a series of Internet artworks. Each work is a chapter of a diary written by a traveler who searches for a lost treasure in a parallel world called Sunset/Sunrise. The chapters contain love letters, travelogs and description of unique navigation tools. Little is known of the traveler or the lover except that they probably lived in the East Village neighborhood of Manhattan. While navigating the interface one becomes intimate with the traveler's internal landscape and the quest for the treasure.
Textworks focuse on the territorial properties of languages on the Internet and in the physical world. Word or phrases in multiple languages are arranged in grids, organic forms and are also constructed around the body with silver findings.
Similar to a recipe, computer software contains sets of instructions for the machine to perform. In the series code:skin, Linux kernel source code migrates from the computer to organza ribbon, to create conditions for code to perform a different dance than the one it spells. A woman wears the code and performs basic function of the operating system.
The Nowheres series includes one-of-a-kind 3D digital rendering of the Sunset/Sunrise completed with a hand-drawing of data that captures the movement of visitors through the three chapters.
