| Short Bio: |
[dNASAb] works across a broad range of mediums
creating works surrounding the intersection of art and technology ”Like
abstract expressionism in the hands of the folks at Wired, Brooklyn artist
[dNASAb]’s work expresses the contemporary sensation of drowning in circuitry”
(Felicia Feaster). [dNASAb]'s work 'displays a dynamic, dimensional,
gestural chaos of beauty from somewhere between nightmare and
recognition.”(Michael Salter) His recent exhibitions include The North American
Exhibition of Plastic and Paper Arts at the Swope Museum, Terra Haute, IN,
“LIVE” curated by Elizabeth M. Grady of the Whitney Museum“50 MINUTES” Show OFF
Paris, France, “All Systems Go,” curated by Marisa Olson for Rhizome at Scope
New York .He also has two upcoming University solo shows , one at DePauw
University in Aug. 07’ and one at the University of Tennessee in Feb. 08’
He was recently a resident at the Experimental Television Center International.
REUTERS NEWS did an interview on the “iPod ecosystems” exhibited at Scope NY with

[ARTIST STATEMENT_"iPod ECOSYSTEMS"_[dNASAb]
While on International Summer Workshop Residency at the Experimental
Television Center at Alfred University in 2006, [dNASAb] worked with a
hardware video synthesizer made by Nam June Paik/Abe
called the Wobulator. In an effort to visualize the information and
energy spewing from the synthesizer,[dNASAb] created a temporary
photographic environment utilizing the Wobulator.
This piece inspired many ideas about the distibution and display of
video art via video sculpture.
Already creating I-Pod videos formatted for global delivery via the
internet and I-Tunes,itseemed a natural progression to work with the
most recognizable handheld mobile video devices.
The I-Pod, now being 5 years old, is deeply integrated into the lives
of millions globally,andspeaks of the fetishism that modern consumers
have for new electronic mobile devices. [dNASAb] sees these new devices
as raw materials for artistic creation.Thus the beginning of the I-pod
sculpture series.The first group are continuously looping,wall
hanging,painted audio/video sculptures.The sculpture actually provides
the energy,and audio components to make the I-Pod have a life and
voice, It is a symbiotic relationship.Each I-Pod has its own unique
custom video and video playlists relating to the sculptural elements.
[dNASAb] also has started to work
directly onto the I-Pod screens sculpturally, integrating an image in
motion on a two-dimensional screen is a visionary artistic precursor to
the actual future technological advancements of video
fabrics,holographic projection screens,and virtual reality.These
experiments pose interesting questions such as "What kind of ecosystem
would an I-Pod flourish in?""Does the place where the I-Pod resides
have any relationship to the content contained there in""Can sculptural
components enhance the aesthetic of the I-Pod and its content?"
