Panel Statement 

Panel: Three-space

My work is concerned with issues in technology where the inability to control is at the heart of the matter. I will show work (the Katonah Museum project) which exhibits behaviors that are determined jointly by the internal logic of the software, the participation of the viewer(s), and by environmental circumstances. The work does not relinquish control to either the public, the environment, or the software, but sets up a condition where the confluence of the three results in a particular behavior. It seeks to use rather simple technologies to explore issues that are raised by the larger contemporary technical environment in which we find ourselves.
