PROSTHESIS
"Jacked in, prosthetized, there is no structural distinction between body and machine." —David Wills
Prosthesis is a suite of live vocal pieces exploring technological systems, physicality, cognition, memory, and media. It includes readings augmented by projections and recorded voice, and concludes with a song.

OPENING SOURCES
Opening Sources is an online poem continuously written by anonymous authors.
In live performance, the poem is projected on a screen and the audience is invited to edit while the reading is underway. A loop of feedback forms as the audience speaks to itself in its own mediated, collective voice.

OCCAMSPARSER
Occamsparser is a prose poem accompanied by a control panel by which the reader can redact, remix, and transform text into sparse constellations.
The initially displayed poem is written to be an introductory target, but any page on the internet is fair game for redaction, and can become, should the reader so desire, an extension of the process and piece.
[ Launch ]
NULL METHOD
Null Method is an interactive prose poem in which mechanisms inspired by memory, imagination, fear, and trauma constrict an elusive, shifting text.
A version was published in Counterpath Online 3.
[ Launch ]
LIBRARY OF CUBES
An immersive remix of Jorge Luis Borges' The Library of Babel, featuring endless elevator shafts made of fragmented language, a control panel of letters, a light switch, and a secret button.
Created with poet Adam Veal in the Brown University virtual reality CAVE, 2010.
EAT YOUR TITS AND PUPPETS
Cascades of textual progressions — appearances, disappearances, fades, mirrorings — are scripted in detail and played back across two "pages." Created in collaboration with poet Claire Donato.
The work was performed at ELO_AI 2010 in Providence.
SACRED SPACES

ARTIST STATEMENT
This new public cloud covers a subset of the market covered by the existing cloud. Please consult cloud market segmentation to understand the segments covered. The existing covers the traditional market (with an emphasis on managed complexity), along with all eight of the cloud market segments. It covers both public and private cloud.
This new offering covers multi-tenant clouds. It has a strong emphasis on automated services, with a focus on the scale-out cloud hosting, virtual lab environment, self-managed virtual data center, and turnkey virtual data center segments. The existing weights managed services very highly. By contrast, the new emphasizes automation and self-service. When we say "public cloud", we mean massive multi-tenancy. This means that the service provider operates, in his or her data center, a pool of virtualized capacity in which multiple arbitrary users will have virtual machines on the same physical server. None need have any idea with whom he or she is sharing this pool of capacity. This does not include any of the cloud-enablement vendors nor does it include any of the vendors in the ecosystem.
We expect to weight the scoring heavily towards the requirements of those who need a dependable cloud, but we also recognize the value of commodity cloud to our audience, for certain use cases. We did zero pre-qualification; if you asked for it, you got it. This is a data-gathering exercise. We do not release the qualification criteria in advance of the formal invitations; please do not ask.
