Lethe – Section 1 Draft
Lethe was originally intended to be the first section of a larger project about the growth and perceptual evolution of an artificial intelligence. Unfortunately my time in SOS: Media ran out, due to The Trouble With Unicorns and my insanity of time overcommitment. Having spent a great deal of time on conceptualization and preproduction for [...]

The Bees
The Bees is the first seriously involved video project I did after the acquisition of my first camcorder (a Panasonic PV-GS150) in late June 2005. Created over a period of time from late July 2005 to late August 2005, it is a tale of repression, rebellion, and occultish artifice starring the central species of the [...]
