Shortsighted Innovations From a Tech Messiah

is a series about Silicon Valley's desire for competitive innovation, development, and profit at the expense of its users. Where minimum viable products are shipped as infallible commodities, without forethought of their necessity, or ramifications on society. Just as settlers in early America believed that expansionism was justified and inevitable; Silicon Valley views its advancement through a lens of optimistic destiny. Products are packaged to consumers with a perceived moral high ground. To not buy in, is to not share in the collective progress. In this scenario groupthink will always outweigh critical reflection; After all, who wouldn't want to change the world.

Photograms

This body of work is an exploration of incorporeality, a state of no material existence.

The photograms in this series are time-lapse recordings of common household materials. (hard-surface cleaners, polyethylene wrap, carbonated beverages). The translucent materials interact on glass plates, interposed with light sensitive paper. As the photographic paper is exposed to light, it records a visual documentation of a past experience. Much like an impression fossil, what’s left behind is the absence of physical presence. The object can be interpreted, but never restored.
