Syracuse Computer Art Grad. From his website:

"This video series documents extraordinary occurrences captured by a passing videographer. The title and direction of the series are a reference to the writings of anthropologist Carlos Castaneda who studied ancient shamanistic methods of experiencing the world paranormally. He described "square millimeters of opportunity" as momentary and radical shifts in perception, during which amazing events are possible. Video compositing and special effects are used to actualize these moments."

Sean was a colleague of mine at Syracuse University who created interactive, engaging, yet austere works through video, physical computing, and other media.
"I am very curious as to what makes men act the way they do. My own mannerisms and ideology seem to clash with particular identities of men both portrayed in the media and in society alike. Often I find myself critically analyzing the identity of males while at other times I feel myself conforming to a stereotype to simply fit in. I seem to be in a constant state of flux—on an endless journey searching for who I am—tormented by the oddity of the mediated persona. I attribute this contradictory existence with my lack of a father figure and the consequences of using of mass media as a surrogate parent.

In general, my work is a critical assessment of media’s omnipresence and the effects of its power to influence our society. In particular, it reflects the alienation of the male identity in regards to behavior learned from mediated reality. I draw inspiration from the way in which mass media is used for entertainment, information and social connectedness and the unconscious issues that arise with such dependence. These issues of persuasive media and the effects of mediated reality are the driving forces of my life and work—both of which concerned with the impalpable human identity evident in our stereotypically based culture."

I have noticed that the majority of the traffic to my website comes not from people actively looking for my work, yes, it's humbling, but from searching for an entirely different, usually much more popular artist that I wrote a brief article about on this blog. This does however drive traffic to my own site. So, and don't hold me to this, but I am going to try to cover a new artist, show, or something else I think is interesting twice a week. This should keep me actively engaged in looking at new work, while also helping me to establish what one of my colleagues once called "google juice". Stay tuned.
