O.K., Solo Show, Graduate School Gallery, Brooklyn, 2009

The show consisted of works I’d made while in Boston, most of which were informed by ideas around Creative Commons, the copy-left, hacking and word games. If I recall, I moved to NYC in 2008 and this show happened shortly after in 2009.

Above: Screwed Time, produced with Matt Boch. LCD display, Arduino board, cassette tape case. This was a clock that ran at half speed and every now and then ticked back one second. Made in tribute to DJ Screw.

Above: 20 One Copies. Spray-painted USB drives, ball-chain necklaces, mp3 files. I made twenty copies of the song One by Metallica and loaded them on to USB-drive necklaces and let people take them away.

Above: Take Two (versions). Take Two is a game I’d invented to produced novel two-word phrases / concepts based on lists of the most frequently occurring words in contemporary film and television. There have been a bunch of versions over the years but this was the first public showing.

^ Posters:Yearbook (2004), Typing Game (2004), Neutrality Sans (early version); photocopy prints on bond at 24” x 36”. Yearbook is a collection of signatures found in the first few years of Google Images / Image search; Typing Game is a game where you type “I typed this with my [body part of your choice];” Neutrality Sans is an alphabet set and font that’s standard except that it lacks the letters A, E, I, K, L, N, O, R, T, U, W and Y.

I also had some digital works running on a monitor including an early demo of 1x1x216.
