"Forest Dream Code"is a 9-minute single-channel video that's based on a two-screen video installation I created for the "Dada/Data" show held jointly at the UMBC Center for Art & Visual Culture and Maryland Art Place in 1991. In this work, I blend various scenes (carnival, ATM banking, warped television) with quotations from Henry David Thoreau and Octavio Paz, along with music by Charles Ives, to evoke a sense of man's growing separation from nature.
