Some projects
-
Skydiving
Working at high altitudes, photographs as emotional objects. A gallery show and an artist's book.
-
Triple Canopy
It has been a privilege to contribute articles to Triple Canopy magazine.
-
Bowery Birds
A digital recreation of the Bowery in 1997 between Houston St. and Delancey St.
-
Snowbound
The language of this small paradise exists for us to happen upon in future days or to reflect on in former. For the visitor, the cold moment is a negotiable foray into fiction and found territory.
-
Ocean
The digital Ocean has been my ongoing project since 2000. It is a real-time, physics based, interactive manifestation of the ocean.
-
A Rabbit as King of the Ghosts
This is a photography exhibition about magic. For us, the photographer is a seeker of mystery and the act of photographing casts a spell that turns the banal into the supernatural.
-
Interview with Reuben Margolin
The brilliant kinetic sculptor Reuben Margolin, in this interview (made for North Drive Press in 2005) discusses his mechanical waves, handbuilt caterpillars, and the table car.
-
Estimated Landscapes
Sometime around 2001, I decided I was a landscape photographer. No more birds, just the land. And an odd seal.
-
LoveDeath
LoveDeath (2003) was a collaboration amongst David Kaplan, Dan Torop, and Paul Marino. Machinima ballet danced by ducks and others to a Wagner soundtrack.
-
Lost Domain
Drifting in New York, and a few other places. A getting-the-feet-back-on-the-ground effort.
-
Landscapes
Those were the days! Traveling in the car West then East. Drifting to and from the darkroom, printing evening after evening.
-
Poetry Computer
I made it speak extemporaneously: as it came up with new words it spoke them, then forgot them.
-
Card Game
This is a game of theatrical self-revelation. The cards assume the emotional damage and self-doubt of the players. Win by charming the other players with your anguish.
-
Trying to Learn to Say the Same Thing
This was the "first NY art show". It wasn't really called "trying to learn..." It didn't have a title, but that was what I'd been wanting to call it if I could've gotten up the guts, so I'll pretend it is the title.
-
Labrador 1995
In 1995 Reuben Margolin and I drove to Labrador in a 1980s subcompact car. We brought along two cases of wine and some whiskey. Reuben brought his notebook and I brought my camera.
