‘More Interrupted Meals’ involves a sound machine connected to a video monitor. A small light-sensitive sensor attached to the monitor screen sends a signal to a motor, causing it to slightly pivot. In the case of this work, a chord is struck each time a figure passes the screen, in a gesture that relinquishes human
authorship and makes the video the “composer” of an ensuing musical score.

This contingent exchange evokes a kind of ‘posthumanist’ performance space: a space occupied by many agents and actants – yet absent of any conventionally
human protagonists.

In my practice I am interested in using technologies to create miniature systems; yet rather than offering any type of logical sequence or progression, the technologies in my work favor slowness, repetition, and nonlinear connection, dissociating themselves from any productive use or value. Instead, I create contingent networks that emphasize unexpected outcomes, small transformations of form, and strange collaborations or harmonies. Fragile, ephemeral, and nuanced, these works also present allegories for living practices of connection: unconventional kinships that join in proximal relation categorically differentiated spaces.
