general + previous updates
i recently showed a new cyberSurreal evolution of my shellPhone project stream out at Fountain in Brooklyn, New York ... this latest installment, aptly entitled 'Archipelago,' made another playfully farsical, implied statement about our relationship to nature, technology and each other as filtered through the capitalist, consumerism afterlife of what a more philosophically bound, nearly-democratic social landscape

on May 6th 2011, Carol gorgeously modelled 'webCam Bra for Living I/O' out at the Mobius Wearable Art Runway Show ... many thanks to the ultratalented DESI, providing cyberSurreal and sexy touches of glamour for this fashion debut of the BcSi { photo and videoDocumentation still soon to come }
