"Emergent Ecological Technologies""2009 60 "w X 40"h photograph.lightjet print edition of 7 + 2 AP by [dNASAb] 09'
Inspired by the surf, the unpredictable elements of nature,and the energy of the ocean.As well, as the amount of "consumer plastics" needed by humans to enjoy the beach.I set out to create new images incorporating the waves, both light and ocean, wind, sand, explosives, and sculptures made of plastics, rubber and fiber optics.I created mini installations on the shoreline, with fiber optics driven by 9v volt batteries, that proved to be waterproof.It was extremely difficult to work in that changing environment in the middle of the night, half of the time I was knee deep in water with the waves crashing on my tripod.But some interesting and exciting new images were created, and spawned a ton of new thoughts about how to create works integrating nature.

Solo Projects Exhibition
"NEXT POST"... is a foray into the next paradigm of art. Blog posts dispense with rules and manners. Jettisoning traditional brushes and technique, each artist uses space, new materials, color, and light as vocabulary of a hybrid visual vernacular. These projects are all BIG, utilizing maximum amplitude to put the potential of art to the test. NEXT POST material and light divulge facets of emotion, the oblique language of the psyche. Here postmodern ruses, wit, and theory are present not as the entirety of a gimmicky one-liner, but as icing on the cake.

[dNASAb] exhibits work in a show titled "CURRENTS IN CONTEMPORARY PHOTOGRAPHY" at Flanders Art Gallery opening reception Jan. 30th
Opening Reception with pierogies & martinis Friday, Jan. 30th, 6 - 9pm
Over the past decades, photography has evolved into one of the predominant forms of contemporary art. Whether this growth is the result of a relatively youthful medium finally gaining the respect and legitimization of collectors or because the technological developments of the past century accelerated its potential, photography is not only a difficult field to summarize, but it offers almost limitless possibilities in both aesthetic and narrative exploration. more>>>>>>

"In/Formation at BRIC Rotunda Gallery,Opening Reception: Wed, November 5, 7 – 9 pm"
The artists in In/Formation employ widely varying media and representational approaches to examine the radically changing nature of information systems and vehicles in the digital era. Leslie Alfin, Louisa Bufardeci, [dNASAb], Penelope Umbrico, and Ward Shelley present works that express the effects of information overload brought about by such rapidly transforming websites Google and Wikipedia. In the current environment, information is ubiquitous but not necessarily stable or even accurate. Rather, it is literally in formation—relentlessly growing in quantity and endlessly mutable.
Opening Reception: Wed, November 5, 7 – 9 pm,On view through December 19, 2008

"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.
