I am an artist and educator living in New York. I teach analytic and studio courses for CUNY in the Art Department at The City College and formerly in the Department of Film and Media Studies at Hunter College.

The blog for my courses Web Production 1 and World Wide Web lives here. You can find resources from a class I formerly taught, Understanding New Media, here.

My own work explores relationships between perception, knowledge, communication, and commodity.

transubstantiation

Transubstantiation

Transubstantiation is the processes durning The Eucharist in which the body and blood of Christ are transformed into bread and wine, the form remaining the same while the substance changes. In this transformation we find what might be a reversal of the former: a word becomes an image and so form changes while substance remains unchanged. Both instances assume an apparent magical character.
