Home For Living is what your house might be doing when you go away on vacation. When you bought your brand new house did you feel a sense of elation? A sense of accomplishment, a bit of gratification? Modern architecture calls for cheap and synthetic materials. A house is no longer made of native materials, only foreign. What began with Le Corbusier, Utrect, the Bauhaus, "L' Espirit Nouveau", "De Stijl", even "neo-plasticism", has ended with over specialization, standardization and mass production. A house is a machine for living in. There is a certain mystique to the machine. The death of community began with the birth of TV.
Exhibition of work at Electric Art in Syracuse, NY on April 10, 2009 included an Installation called "No String Attached", where two mannequins say what is available on the Casual Encounters section of Craigslist; ".highway", a visualization of the GPS grid as someone drives on the highway through mountains and cityscape (viewed through a video headset); and "Audiobombs", devices that are for sonic graffiti (any audio can be implanted in a space, hopefully jamming that environment by revealing sounds that were once there, potentially will be there, or are missing because of human intervention).

About a guy that gets sucked into watching too much 911 and Iraq War footage on TV. Scatterbrained is a music video for the song Scatterbrain, a track on Radiohead's album Hail to the Thief. Scatterbrained was submitted to Radiohead.tv but I guess it never made the cut. Undergraduate project of Stephen Belovarich at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.
Attention Span is a series of video loops to be watched while listening to binaural beats. The combined A/V effect may produce a trance in the viewer. This is a magnification of what may be happening when someone watches television. Download the Brainwave Generator for Windows or Sbagen for Mac/Linux for audio. I apologize, but the audio effect is lost in compression for the web.

Information Hunter Gatherer, a video game where the player shoots down news headlines and gathers the content of the news story, premiered at the Electric Art Show in Syracuse, NY on April 26, 2008. Using a gun originally intended for the Nintendo Wii, I attempt to draw younger people into the role of news hunters and gatherers. The original impetus for this project was a study of my own behavior when selecting news stories from Internet RSS feeds. I saw myself and began to observe others as consumers of information. This logically brought me to the conclusion that since most Americans are detached from the process of food creation, they replace this primordial survival instinct with the consumption of information.
