[ART STATEMENT ->
My work integrates various means of communication and artistic production using virtual spaces, physical environments, and new technologies to establish connections between human (inter)actions, social networks, and technological adaptability.  Based on notions of geographies, identity, gender roles, image appropriation, and the politics of migration, I explore contemporary issues affecting diverse communities in New York City.

Over the years, I’ve developed new models of expression to mediate new projects and concepts. In analog form, I present tangible visual experiments where audiences manipulate and review the object(s) at will.  In digital format, and whether I’m working for the Web, CD/DVD-Rom technology, and/or interactive installations, audience participation is important. From print to video, from Web based environments to multimedia installations, I work with issues related to constructions of Self, social (re)presentations, and (re)constructions of public spheres incorporating historical, literary, and theoretical references.

In my artistic and intellectual development, I’ve learned to better understand my interests, and preoccupations about the world I live in through recording and documenting the social, cultural, and economic development of cities and communities using various analog and digital devices. I see technology as the means and not the end of what I conceptualize, develop, and present.
