Gregg Biermann
SPHERICAL COORDINATES (8:30 min. looped video, 2005)
Spherical Coordinates is a new work in a series of digitally animated pieces that rework iconic Hollywood films. The camera moves in a variety of ways examining the inside of a 3D animated sphere on the inside of which a scene of PSYCHO is wrapped.

Joe Merrell
4 VIDEOS: CORNER, LOS ANGELES; FIRE, SAN BERNARDINO; PIER & BEACH, SANTA MONICA; and DRIVE, LOS FELIZ TO BOYLE HEIGHTS (video of various duration, 2005)
These pieces are very different stylistically but united in the sense that the visual structure of the original material in each video is altered to reveal or imply things about the time and space depicted.

Arzu Ozkal Telhan
UNATTENDED BODY (30 min. video, 2003)
Unattended Body discusses how an existence at its most banal (Heidegger) can be simply perceived as a disturbance or a potential threat if it does not act in its expected way for the society.

Zach Poff and N.B. Aldrich
INTERACTIVE SOUNDSCAPE DESIGNER
was designed in 2005 as an interface for the public presentation of a collective database, or archive, of audio field and found recordings. The goal is to encourage members of a participating community to collect and contribute sound recordings of importance to the individual contributor and to their local culture as a means of artistic expression and mutual reflection.
