TAIWAN STREET STORIES
Taiwan Street Stories is a non-linear, automated, randomized, multi-screen, perpetual video documentary installation portrait of street workers, landscapes, and daily moments on the streets of Taiwan. The installation incorporates Chinese non-linear poetry modalities such as Xuanjitu (see published articles), emphasizing interrelation, recontextualization, and interactivity. The documentary installation utilizes this poetic framework to communicate a fluid, individualized, participatory viewer experience that illustrates a highly subjective, ambiguous, and meditative, documentation of people, places, and traditions of Taiwanese street workers, the surrounding social landscape and multi-dimensional forces within.

LAC ST. ANNE
Lac St. Anne is an interactive, data-driven, modular, non-linear audio/video poetic docuemntary meant to illustrate the geographical aura of place within a catholic pilgrimage site in northern Alberta known as Lac St. Anne. The installation utilizes infrared, video and audio sensors to collect viewer data such as proximity, duration and sound, when then relays it to output peramters such as reverb and specific video montage scenarios to create an interactve daydream sensibility - One that speaks to the varying emotional hues contained within this landscape and the experience of it. My motivation in creating this installation comes from a desire to explore how one can articulate an experience of a broad, historically charged, highly politicized, and culturally diverse geography in a vsiceral way that speaks beyond an objective monolithic account.
