These works were created between 1985 and
1998 on Macintosh Plus and Amiga computers
DECEPTIONS:
A sequence of images that evoke the dark emotions of evil and deceit using
magazine imagery that has been altered by collage and electronic manipulation. In
its original conception, the piece was intended to reflect a real life
episode in which a couple inflicted unusual cruelty on each other. The
piece is accompanied by an original musical sound track created with digital
instruments using MIDI systems.
PATRIANOSTRA:
A political piece that reacts to Reagan administration's overindulgent reliance
upon military solutions to human problems. It is comprised of images
from the popular media that are electronically collaged and fragmented
by the display program. The percussion sound track brings together
military cadences with Latin flavored rhythms that symbolize the current
focus of US foreign policy.
VICTIMS:
A continuously running computer/video image piece about the utter loss and
impossibility of revenge suffered by victims of tyranny. Although
the videodigitized imagery was derived from footage of a Nazi concentration
camp, it is intended to address the ever present danger of any absolutist
ideology that so easily sacrifices life in pursuing its self justified
goals. The piece was programmed in
the Macintosh HyperCard format, and was available on major computer networks
as an ArtStack. A donation of $10 to Amnesty
International was requested.
