The relationship between computing networks, geopolitical structures and Empire.

Empire is characterized fundamentally by a lack of boundaries: Empire’s rule has no limits. The concept of Empire posits a regime that effectively encompasses the spatial totality, or really that rules over the entire world. No territorial boundaries limit its reign.

Forces which contest Empire and effectively prefigure an alternative global society are themselves not limited to any geographical region. The geography of these alternative powers, the new cartography, is still waiting to be written—or really it is being written today through the resistances, struggles and desires of the multitude.

Aurora
video
2025

Look into your depths, pray to your depths, waken the dead.
(I would like to learn to live, finally)


Aurora explores hauntology and laborious craft. The subject is a patchwork quilt created by my namesake Gloria. The video is compressed through a PNG image processor, transforming 8:10 minutes of footage into 5,497 individual images. Each individual frame was manually set .04 seconds.  


Aurora has exhibited with The University of Chicago and Academy Hall Museum

Do a little Holy thing
tri-channel video
2024

“[He] does not know what to do with all these skulls. But if he abandons them! . . . Will he cease to be himself?” 

Do a little Holy thing surveys devotional tableaux, and memorial landscapes.
