Gross Domestic Prodeuct (detail)
The Universal Capital series’ collages of commerce, idealism and power are alternative readings of the overview. It differentiates, warps and fractures established systems’ charts, myths and propaganda with those of multiple "underviews". Universal Capital re-positions the omniscience of the map within the possibilities, patterns and ruptures of time.

BLUEPRINTS
Focus on the sublime, entropic relationships of human and natural production. In the beginning is the end. Different languages evaluate function, cliché, memory, news. Blueprints are elusive to reproduction. They are embedded.

FILMS
IN MEXICO, COLORS NEVER DIE! Super-8 Transfer, 15’, 1995
Made driving to Chiapas, Mexico from Minneapolis, Minnesota to report on the Zapatista Guerillas. Calculating the number of miles to frames in rolls of Super-8 film, a frame a mile was shot on two cartridges, approximately 6,000 frames. It was then projected back at the slowest mechanical speed the Eiko-8 would allow.
PolyglotYrCrack?
Hi-8 Video, 15’, 1995
PolyglotYrCrack? is based on an automatic writing interpreted as a series of exchange rituals that include money, sex, and work, and are mediated by speaking in tongues.
