Hey Everyone!
This Friday I will be apart of Tumblr Arts Summit! This is going to be an exciting panel to be sure, and I’m sure there will be LOTS to discuss. If you see me, please stop me and say hello!
As you might have read, my thesis was the beginning of research into the screen and our daily habits of staring into them; I believe that the internet has vast, uncharted territories, when it comes to art — both for viewing and making. I think it’s necessary for us to come together (you, me, everyone) and discuss our successes and failures with using this platform! [See Steven Johnson: Where good ideas come from.]
It’s being moderated by the awesome Annie Werner who runs Tumblr Open Arts among many other amazing things for Tumblr. It will also include Aditya Julka, Co-founder of Paddle8, Jennifer Yin of the Asian Art Museum, Joel Kuennen of the publication ArtSlant, Kara Q. Smith of Art Practical and Open Space, the SFMOMA blog, Liz Glass of CCA Wattis Institute, and Ken Harman of Spoke Art.
California College of the Arts will present its 2013 MFA Thesis Exhibition with an opening reception on May 16 from 6 to 10 p.m @ 1111 8th Street, San Francisco, CA 94118.
Come check out my work and say hello!

Lots of exciting new things to come this week! I hope you’re ready!
It’s not what you look at that matters, it’s what you see.
A full digital copy in EPUB format. Completely Free!
I think of this as a work of art, complementary to the thesis subjects. The writing itself is incomplete, similar to how Google Books does not reveal every page of copyrighted material. I disassembled the writing, page by page, into individual images. The pages that are not available to read have been databent, so some of the text and imagery is partially visible, and the rest obscured.
Hello Amazing Friends,
The day has arrived! This has been a fantastic, crazy year; I’ve learned a lot about myself and the work I make in the process.
When I began writing and researching, I was only partially aware of the mass amount of information sent for me to consume. What had started as a fun reread of ”Death of the Author” by Roland Barthes became a complex tale of macro-web interactions, lengthy research, watching every season of Seinfeld, getting into David Foster Wallace, and much much more. I hope to continue my writing on these topics for years to come.
The thesis has taken two current forms:
1) Ebook — A full digital copy in EPUB format. Completely Free!
2) Paperback Book — I think of this as a work of art, complementary to the thesis subjects. The writing itself is incomplete, similar to how Google Books does not reveal every page of copyrighted material. I disassembled the writing, page by page, into individual images. The pages that are not available to read have been databent, so some of the text and imagery is partially visible, and the rest obscured.
As always, send me a message or email with any comments or questions you may have. My goal is to open a conversation space, not only for people using similar materials or ideas, but to any artist, viewer, critic, curator, or person that wants to talk.
