		<description><![CDATA[The first three stills sketch out the setup.

The remaining six were taken during the course of the screening - work by Matt Wellins, Ben Hernstrom, and myself are represented in these six stills.

The installation is projected in the natural space. The back wall of Gooski's back room has a reflective quality, visible electrical outlets, and some graffiti.

Pretty simple stuff - a desktop projector, a computer, a Fender amp, a power strip. Gooski's back room has a short cieling and a stage with a fairly reflective silver back wall. This allows me to turn the room into a fishbowl of light and moving image.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I've enjoyed finding Shepherd Fairey's work in its tapestried bits and pieces around Pittsburgh. They are familiar friends, these images and icons. When I was an undergrad in Wisconsin in the 90's we talked about the whole, send away for the Obey the Giant stickers and things and how genius it was ... It is beautiful. Like the pretty boy who gets chicks easy and never develops his character ... I kiss those pictures when I find them, in my imagination. But I liked it better in the museum I saw it in, in Boston, last year. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Creating a litany of Pittsburgh-based artists' names. The video - simple animated text, in a clean font - will be installed during the Three Rivers Arts Festival. Deployed on monitors in different spaces, and projected on an exterior wall, and (hopefully) as bits that surface on the digital billboard that overlooks the Benedum center downtown ...

LITANY : traditionally a Catholic prayer listing the names of saints or characteristics of Jesus, Mary, or other elevated human beings. As a meditative practice, it encourages the practitioner to contain something imagined and limitless (G-d) in the particular (specific names).]]></description>

The 20-minute set will feature longer story-poems, the ones I make in my feeble attempts to mend bits of history with words ... the supernatural punishment of soldiers who abuse the citizens of the town they occupy, the transmigration of a Jewish soul after he dies in the Holocaust, the exorcism of Stockholm syndrome through yoga.]]></description>
