The Six Million Dollar Remix
April 2011 | Washington State University Vancouver
Remix Video

Earlier in the year, I collected a great many videos of cybernetics, thinking to use them in a remix video. I didn't know quite how they would fit together, then it hit me as the course moved into the first stages of making the final project. "The Six Million Dollar Man" was not my first encounter with science-fiction cybernetics, I think that honor goes to either "The Terminator," "Robocop," or "The Empire Strikes Back," but I'd seen the opening sequence remixed many times in my youth. I wanted to take that famous opening sequence and mix it with the videos I acquired earlier. Mixing in Daft Punk's "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" seemed appropriate, and the mix turned into a music video of sorts.

Translating Interfaces

Mobile Website

Translating Interfaces takes the screen version of The Creative Media & Digital Culture (CMDC) Program website and reinterprets it for mobile phones. The design of the mobile version mirrors the screen version but allows for unique opportunities that are only available on a mobile device. This website is the product of a great deal of research, including the screen sizes of popular mobile devices, differences in coding from desktop to mobile and what affordances are specific to mobile devices (i.e. geolocation, remote interface, portable internet radio, maps, etc.) This work was created in collaboration with Margarete Strawn.

Net Art

As part of a study for remix culture, this piece takes images that I created over a year ago, and mixes them with tracks from Akira Yamaoka, who did the soundtracks for the Silent Hill series. The text in the center is taken from the names of mythological figures who have descended into the Underworld, as well as the people who had they had sought out to rescue from the clutches of death. At the very bottom of this descending text are the names of the Underworld from differing cultures.
