1999 - Present.
This series started with the accidental inclusion of text in to JPG image code. The result was a new, randomly disrupted image each time the file was opened. I continued this process by including journal entries in to the code for the creation of self portraits. I used the results in future work and elaborated with more deliberate compositions. I enjoyed the serendipitous nature of the whole process, so I decided to try and harness it.

Lately, I have been exploring using Max/MSP and Jitter patches (with the help of Harvestworks and Zach Zeldess) to further elaborate this process. Using a library of images, the software looks for dominant/recessive colors, composition, date created, etc.. to reformat the images in to new "mutated" results. This work continues and has inspired 3-dimensional work that can be seen in "The Fallen Sky Chronicles" as well as architectural installation.
