Memory Works
Portrait of his mother and father
the photo of his mother slowly transforms to the rate of his breath which was recorded over period of an hour. The glass infront of the picture fogs and de fogs as if Jim was standing front of the picture breathing on the glass.
The photo of his father transforms to the rate of his heart beat over the period of 8 hours, which was recorded while he slept
Installations
Interactive Hallucination, 1998
Live and recorded imagery mixes on a monitor which creates a real time, real size mirror effect. The mirror puts the viewer on fire and puts a virtual woman in the monitor to observe the viewer or effect their space.
Untitled (For Heisenberg), 1994-95
at the end of a hallway there is a platform with life size people on it. They are stuck in a slow motion embrace. As the viewer moves on the hallway the video of the couple zooms in until the viewer is next to the platform the view is a close up abstract of the couple. and the camera moves side to side as the viewer moves side to side of the platform.
Ambiguous icons
