The first 3 videos are from a series based upon electronic communication that I started in 2001. I take found chat logs, email communications and SMS logs and create scrolling layers with each file. Each then becomes a layer within a larger work. I will select a few files to become the audio narrative within the piece; generally portraying the personal nature of the communication --- other times the absurdity of the subject matter.
