About
I’m a web developer who wandered into the dark.
Web + Coding The day job is the web: PHP, MySQL and JavaScript, built to be fast, secure and maintainable, and sometimes prettier than that. Lately that work has crossed into other realms: TouchDesigner, Python, computer vision, and C++ for Arduino. It’s an interesting time to be a coder.
Exploring Coding for 26 years, exploring abandoned places since 2003. That’s taken me inside hundreds of places, more than 140 of them hospitals: asylums, sanatoria and related large-scale institutions. The rest are bunkers, mines, tunnels, factories and theaters. I photograph all of it, and some of those photographs became two books in the Crumbling Castles series: Taunton & Northampton and Worcester & Danvers.
Seafoam Palace The same places became the stage for Falling Sideways, our series of sound and light installations in abandoned resonating chambers, from a Berlin tunnel to the Wieliczka salt mine. I build the apparatus and the website: projection mapping cued to DMX lighting, an audio-reactive ferrofluid display, inflatable lensball screens, glowing rebar cast from EL wire and silicone.
AI I use AI in my work. It’s been opening doors in my head faster than I can walk through them. I review what it produces and question what doesn’t make sense. I don’t love what it’s doing to the environment and society, but here it is. Using it doesn’t mean I’m comfortable with all of it; I’m trying to be deliberate about where it belongs in my work.
