Intro to Video
For the past five years much of my student work has sat dormant. Some of it resides in carefully organized and easily accessible directories (on hard drives and CD-R). The balance however, is stored within enclosures now antiquated (leather portfolios, acid-ridden envelopes and video cassettes); each unfortunately securing its contents from both private and public eyes.
The pieces I had most wished to experience again, the ones I'd lived longest without, were the three videos I made in the Fall of 2000 while learning analog editing in an introductory video-art course.
With the help of my employer's talented (and nerdy) New Media Department, I've begun exhuming them from their S-VHS coffins and encoding them in pristine and efficient MPEG-4 H.264. This means that you will need to have QuickTime 7 to watch the videos that follow. H.264 support hasn't made it to QuickTime for Windows just yet, so for the time being PC users should save the files to disk and view them with the open-source VLC.

The first video I had ever made, Systems examines repetition, the perception of time, duration, looping, and the artificiality of the modern experience. It principally depicts the birds of Baltimore, which (interestingly) have become nearly invisible after being transcoded.

Setting marks the beginning of my transition away from systematic creative processes, towards a practice better informed by beauty, identity and the invisible/intangible. It is the last video I made prior to my arrival in New York.
