I am an intermedia artist who invents new methods of multi-level reading, writing, and listening for self-programming scenarios. I create and playback text and audio by performing everyday or absurd gestures with objects or in locations. Triggering simple switches or sensors fitted to objects or locations controls the speed at which one-word slides are presented on a screen, syllables of pre-recorded speech are played on a speaker, midi notes are performed from a score, or key selections are made on an onscreen keyboard.

Many of my scenarios involve multi-tasking by reading, writing, and listening all at the same time, triggered by the same gestures, to absorb or associate the content on multiple levels of consciousness.

Many of my scenarios involve multi-tasking by reading, writing, and listening all at the same time, triggered by the same gestures, to absorb or associate the content on multiple levels of consciousness. The gestures can be any physical action rigged to trigger a signal to a computer to advance the content like chewing, playing an instrument, or tossing a ball to yourself on your bed. The scenarios can range from getting yourself to eat less fat by associating butter with your inability to do pull-ups to making you feel more like a cowboy when you eat beef jerky by triggering playback of the main theme from The Magnificent Seven with each chew.

My work is multi-level because I use conscious and subconscious comprehension of text and audio to achieve results in my self-programming scenarios. I use suggestion and psychological priming to condition activities or objects with a crafted set of expectations and associations. The level of conscious comprehension of the content depends on the speed the one-word slides or syllables of audio play, the number of screens displaying different slides of text, and the amount of concentration the triggering gestures require. If the text or audio is too fast for conscious comprehension or the gesture requires too much concentration, then it is considered psychological priming.
