My work includes referencing real world events and characters in computer game environments, and translations of game elements into performative events and sculpture. The work is visually seductive cultural criticism that crosses over between the traditional arts, media arts, and pop cultural spheres. I am an important early figure in the development of artworks using computer game modification and online game performance. Originally coming from a sculpture and installation background, in the late nineties I began to combine the strategies of early performance art and contemporary sculptural installation practices of well known artists like Anne Hamilton, Vito Acconci, Robert Smithson, Chris Burden, and Marina Abromavic with my intuitive knowledge of computer/role-playing games and online/offline game culture from my youth.
