| The jelloMolds are silicone rubber cast in traditional American jello molds and Bundt cake pans. In the manner of jello fruit salads, the jello molds are embedded with a functioning lcd monitor and circuit board as opposed to pineapple or marshmellow chunks. The lcd monitors have been taken out of the factory casings and sealed with electrical insulating varnish. One monitor is placed in the mold with a small amount of liquid silicone rubber and then the mold is filled to the top. The lcd monitor is completely embedded in the mold in this manner. If these steps are done correctly the lcd monitor continues to function after the silicone rubber gels. Depending on the type of mold and the depth of submersion, the ability to view content on the monitors is determined. The monitors are placed in the central hole of the Bundt cake molds, so those videos are unobstructed. The videos used for the jelloMolds vary from simple figurative animations to short snippets of readily identifiable televsion programming such as professional wrestling. |

| negativeNumbers is s video installation which incorporates drawn scribbles on the wall with drawn scribbles on eight 4" lcd monitors. The wall drawings were executed with chalk pastels, then brushed with water. The animated scribbling was created with Adobe After Effects on a Wacom tablet. The computer recorded hand gestures are remarkably similiar larger wall drawings. The videos are played on dvd decks which have been rewired with black coiled extension cords and plugs creating a daisy chain of dvd players and electrical outlets. |
