| In 1994 I discovered that a single 16mm projector and two beam splitting mirrors could produce four projected images. Although not a complicated technique, this discovery opened up vast new visual territory that allowed me to create work that can only exist in this interactive multi-screen format. Over the last five years I have created eight multi-screen performance pieces. |

| A Multi-Screen, Motion Picture Performance includes up to 16 simultaneous 16mm film projections, a five projector installation, and the artist’s live manipulations of these interactive projections. Together they combine to create a three dimensional visual experience in continuous motion. |
| Two beam splitting mirrors are placed in front of each projector lens. This allows four film images to be projected by a single projector. As the performance develops, multiple film loops, short film reels, and central video projections are added and removed, and the position of the mirrors altered. These changes within the visual formation of the 16 projected images require the viewer to continually redefine their viewing experience. |

Unlike painting and sculpture,
which may be viewed at any time, or film and video, which may be pre-screened
and reviewed, this is a unique media without an established exhibition
network in place. It exists only while it is being performed.
