Dario Robleto
Dario Robleto poses in front of “Love Has Value Because It’s Not Eternal,” which holds an immortality potion for lovers.
In some of his work before “Human/Nature,” Robleto explored whether there can be “a material component of love.” For this exhibit he asked lovers of various ages and at different stages in their relationships to record one...

I created this website in 2006 and it does a good job of representing my work up until that point. I will make a new one soon enough, but feel free to enjoy the time travel in the mean time.

Morgan Sparks obituary →
It wasn’t until after my Grandfather’s death that I started to understand his accomplishments and what he did for modern technology. I know there is a lot that I will never know about his time at Sandia Labs, but there is plenty of information about his work at Bell Laboratories with the transistor. This is a link to his obituary from the New York Times.

WatchRecent video. As per my last critique, I will be working on this more to find the exact moments of interest. Other notes form the crit include: that it references living bodies, it is seductive and depicts entanglement. I am not using the trope of film enough, study film more. How can I engage the phycological space of fusion more? This is really where the relationships lie.

Radio Lab →

It is probably illegal to drive with head phones on, but lets not take away my joy. I terrify my roommates by charging in and spouting off my new found knowledge while trying to take off my coat and write it all down. I am still trying...

The Tiny dancer, namesake & legacy
The namesake of this blog is the love dog, Joba. He has gone by many names over the years, but his most recent one is “tiny dancer,” coined by miss Brett Windham. Joba is neither tiny nor a very graceful dancer, but none the less when excited, he tap dances on our hard wood floors and wakes up the neighbors. He is the longest (chosen) relationship of my life and is being pretty patient...
Friendship in the Mirror
“In the early 1990’s, neurologists researching monkeys accidentally identified what they came to call mirror neurons, whose function is to fire when we need to replicate the behavior or actions of another person. When we see a person laugh or cry, we cannot help but mirror that emotional feeling; we all know how the mood of a group can be dominated by a single person in high spirits...

Who am I?
It seems like such an easy question to answer- we imagine a coherent inner self, inhabiting and controlling our bodies. Yet there is no explanation for how this self receives information from he brain, nor how it exerts control over it.
We are not born with a sense of self; it emerges at around two as the neural networks develop in the brain. Later, our brains constantly interpret and...
