As part of my ongoing website redesign project, I have been working on rewriting my artist bio, and was reminiscing about my time living in the East Village of NYC back in the mid 1990's. During this time, I was commissioned by Earth Day to create the series of digital photomontages pictured above.
I have been reviewing my archives of historical materials, and came across a video interview I conducted with artist and theoretician Joseph Nechvatal in Manhattan in 2000. It was originally recorded for Everbeta, which was (at the time) an early streaming content network for the arts. The interview takes place during a walk between our studios in Manhattan's East Village and Lower East Side. It is raw footage with in-camera editing only, and is primarily a discussion on Viractualism, the topic of Nechvatal's Ph.D thesis.
