he lived in Spain, where he exhibited his drawings, paintings, and
musical and theatrical compositions, notably in the XVIII

Barcelona, and in various editions of the Joan Miro International
Drawing Competition. He also worked as a jazz musician in local night
clubs. In 1985 he was awarded a research grant from the Mellon

one of the first on-line artworks. As a visiting artist at the
Polytechnic University of Valencia, Spain, in 1996, he exhibited his
suite of digital images "Deadpan, or the Holy Toast" and chaired a
panel on "The Colonization of Cyberspace," a topic explored by seven
artists in "The Homestead/La Finca," a WWW installation he designed
and curated. He has exhibited his work in Artemisia Gallery, Chicago,
the Chicago Cultural Center, in ISEA95, ISEA97, and SIGGRAPH99, where
he was also a panelist for "Algorithmics and Patterns from Life." For
Chicago's Project Millennium he curated a show of new media art,
"Second Nature," at the Ukrainian Museum of Modern Art. His essay on
the poetics of intermedia, "Synesthetic Art, an Imaginary Number?"
was published in the "Synesthesia and Intersense" section of
Leonardo, v32-5, 1999. Currently he is working on a multimedia
performance work, "Fool's Paradise," a collaborative effort funded by
a grant from the Center for Interdisciplinary Research in the Arts at
Northwestern University.
