He’s created site specific/responsive projects for Northern Spark Festival, Kulturpark in Berlin, Weisman Art Museum, Mia, IndieCade LA, and Beijing Film Academy. He’s received MNSAB Artist Initiative grants, Forecast Public Art Jerome Planning Grant, and 21/22 McKnight Visual Artist Fellowship. He’s a Professor of Media Arts at MCAD.
