Loops  is an abstract digital portrait of pioneering dance legend Merce Cunningham. The motion of his hands as he performs his solo dance for hands and fingers was recorded and is the basis for this continuously changing animation.

Limnings, which date from the 16th century, are miniature portraits, often worn as jewelry. Digital Limnings: Miniature Memories reinvents this art form, using tiny wearable video screens to depict the jewel-like motion of a dancer and the subtle interactions between family members. The scale of the pieces beckons the viewer to approach quite closely. The interactive portraits worn by a dog and its owner in Experiments in Digital Limnings  makes use of this intimate viewing distance, responding to presence (the owner’s) and voice (the dog’s).

The subject of Alternative Autobiographies, the prolific author Richard Kostelanetz is at first glance absent from the New York City apartment setting of the piece. Yet he is indeed present, not only through his words, which are animated and projected onto the walls, desk, and window, but also via an e-mail connection whereby the correspondence between audience and subject becomes integrated into this textual portrait.

Department store photo booths represent the mechanization of portraiture: the automatic camera replaces the human artist.  In Security by Julia XXXXIII the mechanical artist is made sinister and invasive, photographing the subject from multiple unflattering and unacceptable viewpoints and displaying these images to the passing audience outside of the booth.

In Telephone Story: A Portrait  answering machine messages create a self-portrait of the absent subject. Viewers interact with the piece by knocking: a summons that is answered by elusive messages and images that sketch a picture of the artist’s life.

The beautifully detailed holographic portrait requires intense cooperation between subject and artist through the requisite studio process. The grainy surveillance image is the opposite, requiring the subject’s ignorance of the surreptitious recording. Strangers to Ourselves juxtaposes these forms to create a portrait that questions the relationship between detail and truth, knowledge and revelation.

Proxemics–how comfortable we feel standing next to someone, and how they react as we approach them–is an important, though often subconsciously realized, aspect of how we get a sense of other people. Portrait of Cati  is an interactive installation that depicts its subject both visually, as a photographic portrait, and proximally, as it responds to the viewer’s approach.

This Voice Anywhere creates a portrait from the distinctive qualities of the subject’s voice. At the entrance, the viewer/subject is photographed and records a statement, which is then transformed algorithmically into a sonic portrait. The growing collection of these audio-visual portraits are played continuously in the “dome,” a multi-channel sound-space installation.
