As an artist who works in new media-interactive installations, I believe that tools
are simply a mediator between my work and a user, allowing for the underlying
theoretical construct of my works to be better communicated as I engage my
audience in open-ended dialogue on the role of human-machine interactions. I
was exposed to mathematical concepts at a very young age and it has always
been an integral part of my life. At this point it is hard for me to separate from this
perspective and it has influenced the very foundation of my thinking -- making it
logical. However, I also embrace an emotional side, which questions the world
around me. It is the marriage between these somewhat opposing perspectives
that forms the foundational bridge that is unique to my work. The questions that
arise in my new media-interactive installations explore the similarities between
the Internet and our everyday lives.

Cyberspace, as I see it is similar to a representation of a map that is hyperreal.
What we perceive, what we feel, what we experience in cyberspace is merely
metadata, computational symbols that float in a vacuum, in a space that does not
even exist. This is a manifestation of the reality that we live in. On an information
level, we are nothing but signs and symbols. We consist of what we have
understood before, a denotation of words strung together by a complex network
of data; a rhizome.
