papalCorruption is a recent experiment for a larger body of new video based works exploring the glitch and corrupt data in media culture.

HYMN [red]
2005
telematic performance work
running time: 34m 08s
HYMN [red] is an edited version of HYMN [one], which was first shown at the 2005 Brazillian Biennial. The original piece was a telematic performance work broadcast live via webcam from my studio in Baltimore to the gallery in Brazil and others watching remotely online. This edited version was created from the original source video for extended gallery viewing.
Like much of my earlier performance work, this piece draws on my interest in personal ritual, memory, history and transcendence. the works in the HYMN series of performances [three total] include the use of blood, wine, water and honey.
