This series wanders through the borderlands of reality and imagination as we negotiate the new terrain of ubiquitous computing. With the magic of virtual alchemy, a few mouse clicks unmoor us from the limitations of reality and send us sliding seamlessly across multiple digital frontiers. At the same time, the virtual increasingly spills over into the concrete world creating its own reality.
In constructing these images, I tried to evoke the lure of other worlds and to suggest some of the dimensions of digital reality — warped concepts of concepts of time and distance, juxtapositions of scale and abstract geographies charted out of ether. Hints of an unknown dread sometimes shadow whimsy. Tabletop constructions, street scenes, and domestic interiors were blended with fragments of 19th and 20th century industrial hardware and contemporary electronic hardware.
