hope ur well

Live performance in the urban garden attached to the Bemis Center for Contemporary Art in the meatpacking district of Omaha, Nebraska. I sit on scafolding playing a videogame that allows users to cultivate digital crops with realistic farm machinery. I operate a digital harvester to carve a message into a plot of land while users watch and try to figure out what the message is. This style of performance merges concrete poetry with land art, all in the virtual realm.
