Current projects revolve around landscape experimentation and theory, both in collaboration with C5 and with the painter Paula Poole. Recent theory work includes Database Logics and Landscape Art. Past projects include being a guest artist and code contributor to Lisa Jevbratt's Mapping the Web Infome project (2001).
