MEOW WOLF DENVER - RYOONIS

If you’re not familiar with Meow Wolf, take a look here.

I’m very humbled to help make immersive worlds. Here are the Ryoonis.

The Ryoonis not only live in the six-dimensional swamp, Numina, but are a part of it. Given that world-building requires unconscionable amounts of energy, the Ryoonis serve as a sort of balancing organelle during the process. Their existence can last a millisecond or a millennia before they rejoin the collective swamp. However in certain cases, and sometimes by design, the matter or energy of a Ryoonis is used in the creation of a lower dimensional unit or path, like an interdimensional mycelial delivery service. So while no one is exactly sure of the number of Ryoonis in Numina (most report between 10-30), we do know that if you place your hand gently on their foreheads, change begins to happen within our timeline and others.

MOTION AT IRLART

From IRLart: This collection of over 24 Colorado based artists and collectives represent an active reimagining of the traditional gallery space. Our inspiration draws heavily from immersive, experiential environments such as ARTECHOUSE, teamLab / チームラボ, ,and Pixel Forest.

We hope to promote a container to ask questions around how to capture artists value beyond the canvas, and step into a space where artists can present their artwork in its native digital form as fine art. We encourage patrons to interact with the art, actively participate in making your next favorite memory, experience art in a new way; and ultimately to collect art and support artists in a new way. To find more info about collecting NFTs and digital art, please read Opensea.io NFT bible.

As we enter the third month of Covid, we all recognize our world is changing. Public Art Lincoln put together a billboard project calling for healing and hope. We have an opportunity to reimagine our future, and create change in this pivotal moment.

MEMORY GARDEN

"memory garden" was an official selection for the 2018 Currents New Media Festival in Santa Fe,  Denver Digirati's SUPERNOVA Outdoor Digital Animation Festival,  Altered Esthetics Film Festival in Minneapolis, as well as the winner of the Cube Art Project's first digital art competition.

A combination of photogrammetry and animation, memory palace looks at the temporal life and digital eternity, the difference between documentation and observation, and the inevitable passing of purpose.

LA LUZ DE JESUS - COASTER SHOW

I'm really excited to have two pieces in La Luz de Jesus Gallery's Coaster Show. So many artists I admire are in this show, and it's an honor to be involved.

Dr. Jannussos: a project in healing and empathy

As a participatory installation, visitors were led through a guided meditation to reduce ego and inhibition, then hold a stranger while learning about their lives and thoughts. The creatures presented  series of questions about death, love, passion, and fears. Several participants broke into tears with a complete stranger, and formed new relationships after the session.  The project focused on breaking down walls between people and building connections.
