WPKN Music, Arts, and Culture Podcast

Cathode ray televisions, LED monitors, digital scanners, laptops, desktop tower computers, digital photo frames, cell phone and smartphones: these are among many of the pieces of technology that Paul modifies and deploy in my practice as a new media artist. Most of these devices are used once they’ve become so ubiquitous in public life, that they are either offered up with deep discounts, passed along for free, or found curbside. These objects typically go through some form of physical intervention and manipulation, by way of the application of paint or adhering of a clamp in the minimal side, to stripping a device down to its bare bones electrical components, all the while allowing the devices to still be fully functional.

 For the past three decades, Paul has worked on electronic, time-based media that avoid technology-heavy processes like coding and digital editing, and rely on basic computer / electronic components to exist in a minimal capacity.
