"FIOS_JESUS;expaned christianity v2.0” is the first piece created in 2008,and was inspired by my many trips to Spain, especially my interface with Christmas Mass 2008.Sitting in a cathedral that took over 300 years to construct is awe-inspiring and truly indicative of the Greatness men can achieve when working together/collaborating on epic levels and monumental scale. The sculpture is emblematic of MY views on Christianity. I believe in alternate realities ,infinity ,alien life-forms , evolution AND the ideas of Christianity. I am concerned that religion is fearful of the truths of science and technology. Through this first work of its kind I created. I am trying to propose the possibility that they can all be interrelated, and in harmony, and not working to disprove each other. The alter pieces and stained glass windows create a truly creative, immersive environment for men to explore the unseen spiritual world through AWE. The audio is already amplified, the cathedral electrified. Wouldn’t it seem fitting if creating a new cathedral to integrate plasma screens, lasers, projections, and video/audio compositions to create a place for AWE, in the same way as the ancient cathedrals but utilizing new technologies?
I was very concerned when making this piece. Firstly, I have purposefully not worked with the figure in art for well over a decade, and never worked with religion as a conceptual theme in my work at all. And the majority of the Master artists that I respect that worked with religion as a theme in art, did so at a much later stage in their lives. But feeling compelled to flesh out some of the ideas swirling in my head, I decided to create the piece and exhibit it at the University of Tennessee solo show titled “Infosphere Aesthetics” . To my surprise this piece brought about a lot of great feedback, dialog, interesting questions and excitement to the show and further hammered home, in my mind, the importance of asking difficult questions through the creation and exhibition of art made_that not always is created for a reason the artist even himself understands.

as,through the sheer verticality of the space, the selected
artworks combine to visually communicate a sense of
claustrophobic post-millennial anxiety mixed with an
un-definable euphoria,liberation, and freedom.

"Particulate" at Vox Populi Gallery in Philadelphia

"Particulate" is a show of ten diverse and internationally known artists who have packaged their visual inspections for playback on micro players. These mp4 players, often illegally labeled as ipods range from 1" to 2.5" diagonal, offer very affordable and intimate venues for these introspective works.

These thirteen particulate samples were gathered from across the US and Canada to settle briefly in Philadelphia. Packets blown about in the passing traffic of the tubes abandoned by DARPA. The dust of dangerous bodies and cultures are collected, appropriated, examined, codecs have been applied, solid state storage units feed Chinese liquid crystal micro displays, photons are filtered and scattered. To ensure public safety, all specimens are simulated in small form, isolated, and displayed behind glass.

Artist included in the show are Laleh Mehran, dNASAb, GARhodes & Chris Ernst of The Buffalo Super Friends, Adriane Little, Tom Bendtsen, Adam Weekley, Alexander Reyna, Colin Ives, Christopher Borkowski, and James Humphrey .

"Meeting 2 of my favorite artists_BillViola & Tim Hawkinson"




What an amazing week of openings,on back to back nights I had the rare privilege to meet 2 of my favorite artists. On Wednesday May 2nd 07. at the NYEhaus gallery in Grammercy Park I got to meet Tim Hawkinson. I had the opportunity to tell him that in 1996,I was visiting NYC deciding to move to the city,and saw his solo show at the ACE gallery in Tribeca. It was a quintessential and defining moment of the trip to experience this show.The monumental scale, clever use of materials,and distinctly unique style of low-tech engineering for the purposes of art were awe-inspiring to me, and drove home the fact that without living here I would continually miss shows of such magnitude, I've lived in NY ever since.Although he did mention "but I am from L.A",which i found interesting. Moving from Florida to LA just wasn't a drastic enough change of lifestyle, but being bi-coastal now sounds fabulous,watch out Tim we might be interfacing more often in the future.
On Thursday May 3rd, at the James Cohan gallery opening for the "Works of the TRISTAN project" by Bill Viola I was excited to have the opportunity to meet Bill Viola. Thanks to artist/curator/PAM founder Lee Wells[pictured left w B.Viola], Chris Borkowski and I got a direct introduction to Bill. He was an incredibly sincere and warm man, it was instantly known he would rather have dialog with some artists than to be in dialog with the myriad of dealers circling him. He told us an interesting anectdote of an interface with Michael Snow, whom he had greatly admired,whilst installing a video piece with drips of water in the Kitchen when he was in his early to mid twenties. Bill Viola has a true talent of being able to add the spiritual properties of humanity to his video works. When I saw his piece where the dying mother is reflected on the screen of the newborn daughter, I was amazed. Television screens inherently have such a sterile quality,but Bill made them poignant, human,and conceptual_ dealing with the very nature of existence,life and death. In all the Hollywood graphic violence and death scenes on television and movies, not one of them compares even closely to the emotional effect this semi-low tech installation held within. Bill Viola truely shows us through the medium of video art, an artists ability to create works that transcend the medium and drive home important messages of sheer existence. I sincerely hope that in the future I will have time to have more in-depth dialog with Bill and maybe even collaborate on a work of art one day.

"Un designer des Ă©changes informels"A designer of the abstract exchanges

  • Christian Gattinoni, 19.10.2006
Sous le pseudonyme à vocation spatiale qui lui tient lieu de signature dNASAb mène une quête passionnante de la biochimie des flux technicistes. Si son esthétique très contemporaine pourrait être identifiée au premier regard comme une pure création logicielle il n'utilise en fait que des techniques analogiques et des matériaux afférents, dont la plus moderne est la vidéo 3D. Il traverse ainsi toute l'histoire récente de l'image fabriquée, même si le résultat en semble proche des pionniers de l'art numérique comme Vera Molnar ou Miguel Chevalier.
