baker artist awards

I’ll admit I have mixed feelings about these awards. But I always throw myself into the mix anyway. As an artist that works with technology, financially it’s a constant struggle to keep hardware and software needed for my studio practice and live performances up to date. Technology now allows artists to quickly distribute work and information in the blink of an eye, but unfortunately the methods of creation and distribution change just as rapidly. Baltimore is fortunate to have our annual Baker Artist Awards which grant three working artists a $25,000 prize for their creative practice. If you have a moment to vote, I would truly appreciate your consideration. Below are links to my artist nomination and to the Baker homepage.

New net.art work launched:

“pwn-yrself.com offers visitors a real hacked index.html page acquired from a previously compromised web server. The visitor downloads the .zip file and using a text editor, simply types their name into the “INSERT YR NAME HERE” sections of the HTML and saves. Blog or website owners can replace their current home page with their new personalized hacked page…”

This work addresses issues of security, privacy, ownership, fear, and reclaiming our personal space on the net.work.

new demo

The summer months have proven to be very fruitful in the studio. In addition to the recent visual works and performances, I’ve started working on the follow up to my most recent album [ — ].  At the moment, i’ve recorded around 65 minutes of new material and plan to continue recording into the fall. Sonically, these sessions seem to be picking up where [ — ] left off . If all goes well, look for a new album sometime during winter 2010. In the meantime, I’ve decided to let a demo of a new track out of the bag. More soon.

Enjoy.
