I spend a lot of time thinking about the robots and their impending revolution. 

Almost as much time as I spend thinking about the humans and their impending doom. 

In the text “The Question Concerning Technology” the German philosopher Martin Heidegger states “the revealing that holds sway throughout modern technology does not unfold into a bringing-forth in the sense of poesis. The revealing that rules in modern technology is a challenging ([translating] Herausfordern) . . .”

The revolution in my work is both challenging and revealing the relationship between human and machine through a creative understanding of techne and poesis as well as digital and physical art. Each of the portfolios below not only demonstrates this relationship but explores a series of questions and meditations that I have outlined below.

Some questions to ponder as you explore these portfolios:

What is revealed and what is challenged when we utilize digital tools and technology to create art?

Is it possible to make sense of the natural or physical world through that which is not natural?

And how can we use the exchange of energy between (hu)man and machine, nature and techne, to birth a new world and creations?
