From January 2014 until January 2019  initiated a monthly AV event called Ab Uno Pluribus.

For the first three years, it was held in The Three Jewels when their center was on 4th Avenue in the east village and it was then held at NYU studio of Music and Computing.  I co-produced this event with composer Wolfgang Von Stuermer. Wolfgang curated the musicians while I curated the VJs.   We named it Ab Uno Pluribus (from one to many) as we choose generally three musicians and the first play independently and they then perform together.

Harvestworks:  “The Problem of Memory”

March 2013

interactive installation, audio activated. 

Participants can listen using earphones to a track I created of narrated verse, music and conversations whose frequency and amplitude are generating the visuals on two walls (walls #1,#2)

When participants talk into one of the provided microphones,  the impact of their voice is projected on wall #2 altering the visuals. And their voice is recorded added to the audio track, hence generating new visuals on wall #1

Every sound leaves a mark, which is eventually altered and distorted by new imagery and new voices have added.
