I’m a new media artist, curator, and zinester. My practice is all about connecting — making things that we can live through and expand with to know our own affective, queer selves.
Most recently ... my livestream network, “Is this THING on?” received grants from NEW INC, Meta Open Arts, Gray Area, Goethe Institute, and the Federal Foreign Office of Germany. In 2021, I was awarded by the New Jersey State Council on the Arts for interdisciplinary performance and a metaverse exhibition that I curated for New Art City was reviewed in Art in America. In 2020, I was an Eyebeam fellow and NEW INC member for my talk show on Chaturbate, a webcam sex site.

My art has been part of numerous exhibitions, festivals, and conferences around the world from the Palais de Tokyo in Paris to China Art Book Fair in Beijing. My Rhizome commission, a porn-novella-zip-file was named by Hyperallergic as the best individual work of Internet art in 2016, acquired by the Museum of Modern Art and the Whitney Museum of American Art, and exhibited at Graphische Sammlung ETH Zurich in 2019. My photography was nominated for the Discovery Award at the international photography fair Les Rencontres d’Arles in France.
My curatorial projects include a year of programming for the ICP Museum and Library that was coproduced by GenderFail and Larker and featured work by Allison Parrish, American Artist, Molly Soda, Morehshin Allahyari, Nora Khan, Paul Soulellis, Porpentine Charity Heartscape, and Shiv Kotecha. I have twice curated online pavilions for The Wrong digital art biennale, one on safe space and the other about death in a web 2.0 landscape.
My books, including a trilogy for the poetry collective TROLL THREAD, can be found in the libraries at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Library of Congress, Walker Art Center, International Center of Photography, SUNY Buffalo, School of Visual Arts, Wendy’s Subway, 本 hon books, and Printed Matter.
Based on the Jersey shore.
