PAINTINGS

If you know me then you know I've recently become obsessed with painting, drawing, building computers, collage, photography, video, painting.
Trust... they all conceptually intersect, it may just take me the next 30 years to prove it.  (and it is my life's work to follow through on that.)  In fact it really took all those steps to get to this point, and I'm really excited about it.  Working intensely these days - and really enjoying where this is going. 

SXSW Interactive 2014 - Not Dead Yet: How Technology is Saving Poetry

Hi friends,

Here's the video of our panel discussion at SXSW Interactive 2014.
Mandy Kahn and I presented several projects combining poetry and technology into 3D built spaces you can enter like rooms.
David Shook presents the Poetry Drone - a proposal for a re-purposed military drone to drop poems instead of bombs.
Watch the talk and let us know what you think!

Big news friends - - I will speaking on a panel at South by Southwest Interactive this March. The panel is about poetry. Yes, poetry! Writer and poet Mandy Kahn and I have been collaborating for months on schematics for some large scale, acoustically driven art installations involving recorded poetry. We will be presenting these and other projects at SXSW. In case you didn't know, SXSW in addition to being a huge music festival also has a massive film and technology component from March 7-11. Here's the page for our thing - - if you are going to be there be sure to add our event to your schedule! Ours is on March 8th at 9:30am sharp. Very excited!
