Artists Statement: Being, Nothing More is an object that occupies the same physical space as my body. My volume, calculated using air displacement plethysmography, was found to occupy 5,616.188 cubic inches at age 38.

Artists Statement: I have appropriated big data processing tools to turn my electronic footprint into abstract, poetic noise. I use statistics from my online conversations to drive procedurally generated stones. I offer these Data Stones as reflections on mass data collection, as well as sites of projection and speculation on random noise.

Artists Statement: This string instrument generates its tone through the tailoring of strings along the unique shape of a deer's antlers. Its tone may resound the howling roar of the very lord of nature. In Japan, one often hears of how damaging deer can be, but they are one of god's messenger.

Artists Statement: Combining video in a CRT TV with physical movement to represent a state of human existence. Unlike Brâncuși’s Sleeping Muse which aims to create the most ideal form, the imperfect form of human body placing in an artificial container reveals the condition of our contemporary existence.
