exhibition and an artist book.

Our Story:
Machinima is animation using a game or virtual world engine to create real time action. My associate, Wayne Graves, produced a short series called AV451 for under $400 and poor equipment. Now, our goal now is to do the full-length film with hired talent and proper equipment to give it a crisper, more professional look. Backed by a quality animated film, we are gearing up to start a small online machinima community with writing classes and collaborative projects to further the art.

The AV451 story:
Lieutenant Maverick Burke awakes from cryogenic sleep to find no operating crew and the ship in the hands of a pirate clan. The ex special ops officer finds himself responsible for the remaining passengers of Colonial Transport AV451 and the dark secret it holds.

I seek performers for a major public work on October 8th in Union Square,
New York city - little to no performance experience necessary, but
durational performance work a major plus! I need at least 40 performers so
the piece can last from sunrise to sundown.

This work is large scale and public, and hopefully represents an opportunity
for you to explore yourself as a person and performer. It's part of a decade
long series of works called Clean Pieces that place the ritual of cleaning
in a new context to encourage viewers to see it as a metaphor for human
connection, and the boundaries that we build and sustain between each other
- religious, racial, and otherwise.

Very simply, I am asking you to stand in Union Square with a black cloak
