Modern Greetings: New Ways of Saying Hello

This handbook presents a collection of modern ways of greeting one another. Addressing today’s technology, daily rituals, and the potential awkwardness of our social encounters, these greetings encourage physical interaction beyond just shaking hands. Whether familiar or bizarre, each greeting asks us to reconsider the simple act of saying hello.

12 pages, full color

5 Star Ratings: Mechanical Turk Reviews
5 Star Ratings is a collection of 25, 500-word art reviews of my artist website, each produced by users of Amazon’s Mechanical Turk, which enables micro forms of paid labor called HITS (Human Intelligence Tasks). Workers on Mechanical Turk were paid $5 dollars to review my website and write about the work. With this project I’m interested in starting discussions and asking questions about how technology and the Internet have changed the way artists construct their identities. What does it mean when we can all create our own press? What value does crowdsourced press have both to the general public and to artists? What is the current state of art journalism?

Letterpress cover with digital printing inside. Hand bound. 

RFL: St. Louis
Reserved For Loitering is part of an ongoing project, How To Loiter, that seeks to re-imagine loitering in specific sites through a Public Service Announcement style campaign. This temporary public art project will include signs, banners, commercials and an online store. My intent with this project is twofold in aiming not only to change the public perception about loitering, but also to encourage purposeful action while loitering.

This book documents the project in St. Louis, Missouri, in the Fall of 2015.
