Artist Statement: "i am the dancer/actress, the visual art is mine, the animated dancing is mine.
the sound is taken from speech synthesis and sound effect sites and melded together into a found sound collage.
photography/video is mine. i basically use the same formula for my videos: sound, sometimes my own poetry,
my art (i animate it) and i dance. the effects are from studio artist software by john dalton. i also used strange
free japanese and polish software. some footage of girls hula hooping on new years eve with lit up hula hoops.
i am a dancer with chronic fatigue syndrome and this is the only way i can perform because i can't go to rehearsals etc
i turned to video for this reason and found i could combine all the art forms i do. i like that my videos
dance for me when i can't. i sometimes collaborate with other poets and musicians. have done a few music
videos for musicians which i really enjoy. part of this video was shot in a motel room because i couldn't
watch american idol. it was also shot in 2 different houses i've lived in cause moving slowed me down."

This is cool. This is Tate Modern and Turner Prize nomination.
What is "Tate Modern and Turner Prize," Oscar?
Tate Modern is an avant garde gallery in London on banks of the Thames - very famous in the UK. Turner Prize is prestigious British art prize for video/installation/abstract art - often controversial. Hated and mocked by right-wing press. (Winners in past: Tracey Emmin, Damien Hurst
Thanks. I'll let Donna know.
