POTENTIAL X FOR X DEGRADE

An artist's book accompanying a prose piece of the same name, later published in ​ink&coda; the originary text is translated repeatedly through a series of experimental translations (visual-thematically, homolexically, through Google Translate, Google Search, through letter scrambling, through image, through sound) until the original text's form, content, and meaning have all degraded and/or been transformed.

THE EYEWITNESS: A POST MODERN PHRENOLOGY

Text from Eyewitness to America, an anthology of eye-witness and journalist accounts of historical events, is erased, fragmented, and assigned to different sections of a phrenology chart: the eye-witness, the journalist, the act of witnessing, the illusion of truth of witnessing, and historical selectivity are here associated with different parts of the brain and are indicators of the self-type. The text is accompanied by collages of images from the Harter's Picture Archive for Collage and Illustration.
