I am an artist and educator currently living in New York where I teach a variety of "new media" courses at The City College. My work explores relationships between perception, interpretation, and knowledge.

Shift Space

ShiftSpace

I contribute to the ShiftSpace metaweb project. ShiftSpace is an open source layer above any website. It seeks to expand the creative possibilities currently provided through the web. ShiftSpace provides tools for artists, designers, architects, activists, developers, students, researchers, and hobbyists to create online contexts built in and on top of websites. ShiftSpace was initiated by Dan Phiffer and Mushon Zer-Aviv.

Cutups

Cutups is a addon for the ShiftSpace metaweb application. With Cutups, a user can select and "cutup" text on any webpage so that new meanings and uses may be discovered and articulated. To use Cutups you must first install the ShiftSpace application for the Firefox browser.

Simple Exchange allows users to exchange textual content between webpages. HTML and XML are the lingua franca of the web; they facilitate the ability to categorize enormous quantaties of information. At the same time they establish equivalences between what are often very different contents.
