Happy DMV Day!
From the Creators of “Free Parking Day” Happy DMV Day!
Daily life is full of situations, actions, and routines that many people find unpleasant or agitating. (i.e. feeding your parking meter, waiting in line at the post office, etc.) For many of us, these are The Sources that lead or contribute to a “Bad Day.” This is your chance to turn those “Bad Days” into Holidays.
Abstract: Two people declared a holiday to ease the frustration many people experience at the Department of Motor Vehicles. They provided complimentary 1st class treatment to everyone at the DMV (refreshments, hot towels, newspapers, hugs, jokes, compliments, etc.). In addition, they provided instructions for others to Pay-It-Forward, extend random acts of kindness, and create their own Holiday.

Artist Statement:
Inspired by René Magritte’s painting The Treachery of Images (1928-29); this video aims to critique movie trailers (previews). I have always enjoyed movies trailers as finished/completed works of art rather than prologues to the full-length feature. Many people are disappointed with movies that do not meet their expectations, and criticize trailers for revealing too much or not enough. But who is to blame for framing such expectations?
A movie trailer is an advertisement. People do not expect to look like an “Angel” with the lingerie shown in a Victoria’s Secret advertisement.
Movie Trailers grab viewers’ attention and influence their perception with deliberate and careful selection of what to show and what to hide. For this reason, I used Mimes as a mechanism to express these characteristics. Ask yourself “Is Seeing Believing?”
Perception is ultimately at the control of the individual.
After Neverland (Updated)
“After Neverland” (Remix of the popular classic Peter Pan) depicts the Irrepressible Spirit of Youth, not as a child, but as a state of mind. Its aim was to remind us of all the simple pleasures that make our lives rich.

“Coexist”
In society, people are distinguished by their differences. This video focuses on the differences that people use to divide and segregate. It aims to explore the relationship between differences in beliefs/values and identity. Ultimately, I wanted to show how differences can serve for the identity of an individual as well as the identity of a society.

Cellular Emergency Alert System

A public service announcement addressing the problems of the current Emergency Alert System. Delivered by TRON.
Early Warning and efficient communication are powerful tools when it comes to saving lives. Despite all of our technological breakthroughs, the “Emergency Alert System” remains terribly inefficient.
Cellular networks are capable of (using current technology) delivering geographically specific warnings/notifications. Furthermore, cellular phones are quickly becoming one of the most accessible forms of communication technology; 1stworld – 3rd world alike. There are 2,168,433,600 Cell phones in use as of 2005. By the year 2011, Global cellular penetration is projected to reach 75%.
I chose to represent this message with a “TRON” theme because I wanted to illustrate how technology can be used to help humanity. I found this film to be quite appropriate as it depicts man and machine working together for a common good. “TRON” further conveys this point, as it was the 1st movie to use Computer Graphic Imagery (only 15 min; the rest was animated by hand). Hence, man and machine quite literally worked together to produce the footage.
Though this video was not as fluid as I had intended, I believe it carries an important message. A few changes to our Emergency Alert System, could save countless lives all across the globe.
