Binary State (2011)

12 min 51 secSingle channel / Digital Video / Black & White / Sound

"All of my work explores the Aporetic state, the paradoxical boundary that arises between self, word, image and technology.  What most interests me is the bi-product 'doubt'  that is created when the world is re-coded in between the self and technological medium of text and language." - NR
