Statistics
Running the Numbers
An American Self-Portrait
"This new series looks at contemporary American culture through the lens of statistics. Each image portrays a specific quantity of something: fifteen million sheets of office paper (five minutes of paper use); 106,000 aluminum cans (thirty seconds of can consumption) and so on. My hope is that images representing these quantities might have a different effect than the raw numbers alone, such as we find daily in articles and books. Statistics can feel abstract and anesthetizing, making it difficult to connect with and make meaning of 3.6 million SUV sales in one year, for example, or 2.3 million Americans in prison, or 426,000 cell phones retired every day. This project visually examines these vast and bizarre measures of our society, in large intricately detailed prints assembled from thousands of smaller photographs. " --Chris Jordan

Mark Tribe: Dance of the Cherry Pickers
"This project involves two robotically retrofitted cherry pickers
(the machines utility companies use to work on neighborhood power
lines). Each retrofitted cherry picker is equipped with sensors and
controlled by software (grown using artifical life techniques) that
models the position and movements of it host machine and its partner.
Both robots have microphones. When the software hears music, it causes
its host machine to dance with its partner.
The cherry pickers are installed in a public space. Because cherry pickers move slowly, the music is played at reduced speed so that the robots move in a slow-motion duet. It might take several hours for them to complete a single song. The dance is captured on video and played back at increased speed so that the music returns to its original tempo and the robots bop along to the beat." --more projects

Genealogy of the Supermarket
Wall installation, 78 framed photographs on wallpapered wall, approximately 12 x 30 feet, 2005
The Genealogy of the Supermarket interrelates people who appear on common products in the grocery store and organizes them so that they appear to be members of one large family. Playing on the fantasies of lineage and heritage that these products themselves already provoke ("My Italian grandmother made pasta this pasta sauce for me"), the images have been returned to their metaphorical point of origin.
