The America's Army Game Cancelled!
Read my contibution to the fake NYtimes edition published November 12th, 2008 - "Popular “America’s Army” Video Game, Recruiting Tool Cancelled"
Visit the website I created for "The America's Diplomat Game", a concept I developed with the above mentioned article.
From March 12th through April 6th 2008 I reenacted Mahatma Gandhi's "Salt March to Dandi" entirely within the online world of Second Life. My avatar's forward movements were controlled by a customized treadmill to allow me to physically "walk" the 240 miles of the original march. New documentation of the project, links to video, the blog, press, etc.
The Third Guangzhou Triennial
The second incarnation of the 17' Gandhi is now on exhibition in China. Visit the blog for the Salt March reenactment project for documentation.
Check out my new "instructable" on building the 17' Gandhi
My instructable has just been selected to be in the upcomming "Instructables Book"!

View documentation of this ongoing project to protest and memorialize the 4,000+ U.S. miltary dead. For the past 2 years I have been entering the America's Army recruiting game as "dead-in-iraq" and utilizing the in-game text messaging system to type in the names, age, service branch and date of death of each American casualty in "Operation Iraqime Freedom".
