the first group of conceptual maps were derived from a social experiment that was developed as part of my MFA thesis, the Blissomatic Surreal. The maps were the visual result of data collected from online surveys. respondents answered questions about their perceptions and memories. The collected data was analyzed and grouped into categories, and then visually mapped in harmony with a literal timeline according to specific and emerging technologies. shown left is the conceptual map Technology and communications - The other map sneaking into the photograph is the Conceptual Map of the Sexual Revolution. It's presentation included a visual comparison of the history of the birth control pill's invention and its long journey through political, and religious agendas finally emerging as a legal birth control medication for distribution and use. That chronology was compared to the timeline of the first and second wave women's movement which largely resulted in the sexual revolution.

My next social experiment is currently in development being prototyped and managed online at posthumanartist.com. It's working title is calling all artists, what has your social media done for you lately. The project will initially culminate in a series of posters and later extendable to other formats but will be similar in design and concept to the image on the left. Essentially my goal is to measure how we feel about technology in concrete terms:

• usefulness - how?
• how has human culture been remade by technology?
• time : confined to the lest two decades
  • how has technology usage changed the way you work, and play / a general inquiry
• blending the virtual and physical
  • do want more or less virtual
  • are we becoming more or less virtual

This series is an examination of the relationship between gender and institution. Institution being time, religion, commerce, and culture. I use concrete architecture as an intuitive device to further the concept that the institution is built and dependent upon women. The many faces of these interdependent relationships segment the broader meaning.

This collection focuses on time parallels and repetition. I focus on media's evolution and message from the unique perspective of history! Despite all of our technical advances we are more at risk of de-evolving today than ever before... My bias is towards global harmony regarding equal opportunity, spiritual association, economic health, and environmental accountability.
