Judge for the 6th Philippine Web Awards. 2003 JAMe[jaemi], Feb 2003 - Three onscreen interactive works win prizes in JAMe[jaemi], Inje University Digital Interaction design competition in Korea. READ_ME 1.2, May 2002 - Textension wins in this digital arts competition. Macros-center, Moscow. The following is a small review written by Ray Thomas of ?"ARK (RTMARK). In terms of aesthetic enjoyment, Textension is a clear winner. It is delightful, exciting, fantastic to play with. It points in many directions at once, suggesting that hypertext could be fun and beautiful and profound in all kinds of new ways that it isn't today. Interestingly, the way to this development is pointed out by the typewriter, which produced beautiful things through the physical action of metal. Textension is the first piece of software to pick up effectively this very lost thread. KCRW's Morning Becomes Eclectic 2000- Sally, a break-beat Samba pop-music experimental sound piece done in collaboration with brother & musician, Marc Nimoy, played on KCRW by Nick Harcourt on April 12 |
