Commission>> Relay Mail

Relay Mail lets you identify a stranger on Facebook and use your social network to deliver a secret message.  Turn your friends, your friends' friends, your friends' friends' friends into a personal courier service. Sending the message is only half the fun. In the process, discover the strength of your social network. Does your message arrive to its destination, or does it get dropped? How many people will have to be enlisted along the way? Relay Mail is part Pony Express and part Facebook hack, testing the limits of interaction in a highly controlled social space.   

Woody Sullender

Woody Sullender is an artist currently based in Brooklyn, NY, working primarily in music and audio media.   Over the past few years, he has emerged as a pre-eminent experimental banjo performer, playing with and against the cultural baggage of the instrument.  More recent work focuses on "erasing" existing audio by removing most of the frequencies from a recording via band-pass filters.  This has manifested in a range of media from a lathe-cut record of a diminished "Smells Like Teen Spirit" to an FM broadcast of erased radio stations. Among other activities, he teaches new media in the New York area and hosts a weekly radio show on WFMU.

Commission>> Whispering Spectres

This project is an FM radio transmission broadcasting audio consisting solely of filtered live radio stations. These radio signals are being passed through many "band pass filters", a type of equalizer that allows a small range of frequencies through while attenuating frequencies outside of this range. In effect, most of the audio signal is "erased" except for a narrow band of frequencies. The piece highlights small, hidden musical moments that are occurring on FM radio, but are usually rendered inaudible by other elements in the sound. The basic gesture is reactionary, a reclamation of the acoustic landscape. Radio is designed to penetrate our homes, cars, offices, etc. delivering hyper-compressed audio at maximum loudness to target a segmented audience. This work filters the cacophony of multiple FM stations aimed at relatively diverse demographics ("urban contemporary", "modern country", NPR, etc.) into a unified, quiet space.

Commission >> Channel TWo: NYC

Eleven years into the new century, it is time to discuss the terms of surrender. Not a surrender to any civilization but the surrender of civilization to those in control who would use any political participation as a crutch for their failure. The question is not if but when giving up on civilization will be seen as the only rational political stance. Channel TWo is a post-network media channel that begins with entertainment-based narrative as a common language. Structurally, it employs internet algorithms, viewer research and custom software to generate localized content. The outcome is a nonlinear, local media sequence that is directly connected to the community in which it is situated. Channel TWo begins after the inevitable surrender of civilization, a never-ending, visually-stimulating,  product-placement-based culture stream.
