Projects

Tag: We're It is a new project that I'm working on with my partner, Lee Billington. It's an aesthetic exploration of the relationship between data and memory. Through the use of Augmented Reality tags, also called Quick Response (QR) codes, we can dissect the visual 'there's more information here' symbol of the tags, which are easily scanned by anyone with access to the Internet and a smart phone or tablet.

Our installation, using digital projectors, projects a sea of seamless tags on walls, creating a floating field of identical black droplets. Each tag contains a pre-recorded video memory. As visitors enter the space, we provide them with a frame which will transform the droplets into a scannable tag and, using their smart phone or tablet, they can then access any one of a hundred memories. They may even encounter their own.


Tomlinson Hill (working title) is a documentary film that investigates racial issues through the very personal story of the last remaining descendant of a Texas slave plantation, Tomlinson Hill. Former Associated Press Africa bureau chief Chris Tomlinson investigates the common heritage he shares with a descendant of the slaves of Tomlinson Hill, one of which is professional football player LaDainian Tomlinson. Chris explores the family histories of these two very different Tomlinsons and their contrary experiences with race in America and abroad.


Swang and the Real You
A short documentary for the agency, Mother London, this project explored the theme, "what is the real you".

The project filmed in Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, and Kyrgyzstan.

A short education film I co-produced and co-directed with Mark Westmoreland sardonically titled "Surveillance and You," was created for the STS program at the University of Texas.
