Patch It In!
Patch It In! is an interactive sound installation focused on illuminating the transformations of space through human presence. The installation explores the physical and aural transformations of space through the activity of the viewer. Prerecorded sounds can be manipulated by the viewer as well as dirt rings existing inside the space. Human interaction and decision informs the work.
The viewer leaves having altered the space in some way, however big or small, whether seen or felt, and they have viewed other’s alterations of space. The installation, once defined by the artist, is ultimately transformed, being defined instead by the multiple interactions of viewers inside the work.

Vietnam War Sound Memorial
The Sound Memorial for the Veterans of the Vietnam War is a six-hour long composition, a reading of the names of the service members who died during the Vietnam War. The Sound Memorial is a fixed media work performed as an eight-speaker installation and is composed from 210+ voices and over 200 hours of recording. The memorial resurrects the service member’s names by propagating them within a defined space, allowing the name to reverberate within a room and take on a whole new life. The first audio excerpt is “Height of the War;” the movement attempts to capture the magnitude of American service members killed in action over the course of several months in 1968. Following this movement is the rest of the piece, playing sequentially from the beginning.
