Simultaneous Portraits or Danger Music for Dick 2005
Nine Channel Video Installation for nine seperate flat screen monitors.
Simultaneous Portraits or Danger Music for Dick is tribute and homage to the late Dick Higgins.

Higgins coined the term intermedia to describe his activities and those of other artist of his time. He was a poet, artist, performer, scholar and publisher. His most notable series of work is his Danger Music scores. This project is based on Higgins' performance score:
Danger Music Number Seventeen
Scream! Scream! Scream! Scream! Scream! Scream!

In this project non-performers (a gallery owner, a journalist, a welder, photographer, retail store manager,and others) were asked to scream until they couldn't scream anymore. The resulting videos are shown on multiple screens (one per person).
