He is currently organizing a series of art and technology exhibitions, which offer an unprecedented investigation of digital media's impact on contemporary art and visual culture. These projects include Sound Oasis, an outdoor three-dimensional audio environment with twelve sound artists; TAMPER: A Gestural Interface for Cinematic Design, a participatory work that fused cutting-edge technology with the practice of film design; and Brian Eno: 77 Million Paintings, an installation of constantly changing images and musical compositions which challenged the presumptive authorial control of the artist.
