This year, I had the honor of participating in Performance in Flux, a multi immersive initiative created by artist Tere Garcia, which was featured at Luminaria light and sound festival in San Antonio. Conceived as a platform for artists to express themselves through performance art, the program was born from the recognition of the need for immersive, multi-sensory spaces where artists can explore the layered dimensions of performance as an expressive medium.

Thanks to a virtual reality program called CyberCell, patients with sickle cell disease can travel inside a blood vessel to learn more about their health. Our Sickle Cell team along with designers from Sam Houston State University are giving teens and young adults a close-up view of sickle cell disease and its care, so they can make the best choices for their health.
Superpresent is an Art and Literary Magazine which represents artists, writers, poets, both nationally and internationally. https://superpresent.wordpress.com/
Superpresent conveys multiple meanings. It could be something very much in the here and now, or something beyond the present state of being or thinking, or something surreal, or it could simply be a great and wonderful gift. In this sense, we seek to present poetry, essays, short stories, and visual arts that are compelling and in someway represent an aspect of the super present.
Wonderful to be a co-author with Yun Li in a chapter “Using Sound to Enhance Interactions in an Online Learning Environment”. This chapter is part of a larger investigation into how new technologies, as well as other new philosophies in interaction, can help to advance the way we think and learn. The book “Learning Technologies and User Interactions” was edited by Kay K. Seo and

Texas Central is the company undertaking the development, design, construction, finance, and operation of the innovative new high-speed (Bullet Train) passenger train line that will connect the fourth and fifth largest economies in the country, North Texas and Greater Houston, in less than 90 minutes, with one stop in the Brazos Valley.
As part of a semester course in User Experience (UX), User Interface (UI), research, and practice, three of my graphic /interactive design undergraduate students were selected to work as a team on a UX research project to study and design prototypes in regards to the booking experience for the Texas Central Bullet Train. This was a major undertaking which resulted in strong designs as well as an article by Launch DFW. LAUNCH Dallas – Fort Worth has evolved into a forward-thinking media company with a focus on content and connectivity.

This Friday, I will be in a 2-person show titled “Kinetic Iterations” in Boulder, Colorado. This exhibition includes artist Jiffer Harriman and features work that bridges the gap between visual art, sound, kinetics, and viewer interaction. The work in this exhibition is meant to be interacted with in order to produce their full effect, whether creating sound, a visual experience, and/or movement. Although different in approach, both projects focus on kinetics and physics in the design of their unique, interactive pieces.

May 17 – August 6, Spartanburg Museum, “Off the Wall”, curated by
Associate Curator, Ashleigh Shuler
While in classical sculpture, art was made from raw materials, in the present day it is often constructed from pre-existing, reclaimed objects. Contemporary sculpture is about understanding the ways in which objects both acquire and lose meaning, and using this understanding to imbue them with new values. Off the Wall examines 11 sculptors who use this “alchemy of objects” to create new physical, conceptual, and political spaces.

My solo exhibition Perceptual Perpetual opens at The Art League Houston in the Front Gallery space, January 26th, 6-9pm. The exhibition features a new body of work that explores visualization, interaction, physics, and conceptual art. The show includes sonic sculptures, wall assemblages, and a mechanized drawing performance. The work relies on audience participation to activate a visual system, which allow variations of order and chaos to influence how the work is perceived. I describe the work as a kind of “physics machine,” similar to the anatomy of a pachinko game or a children’s handheld spinner toy, where gravity, kinetics, and a variety of other forces, cause surfaces to spin and objects to move. Each piece offers a unique interactive framework that creates random fluctuations in movement and audio mechanics. As the work is activated, a conversation emerges between visual aesthetics and embodied interaction. This results in a playful approach to the art experience. Continue Reading →
