A video translation of one of my action art scores for trans* becoming. The text featured in this animation is the text of the score and it is drawn over cytoscopic footage of my urethra and bladder.  This video was originally produced to be shared as part of artist Chelsea Thompto's experimental AR project "Transcode Gallery." This version has not been screened publicly and features a new audio score.   The score is part of my artist book, "Nightmares and Dreams on Progesterone: Action Art Scores for Trans Becoming," set to be published by Late Night Copies in 2024.

Moon Moth Bed is a surreal, symbolic, and eco-feminist art-film about destruction, rebirth, and collaborative consciousness. Inspired by Dr. Donna Haraway's ecofeminist writings and panpsychic philosophy, this live-action, lens-based film investigates the idea that all matter is conscious and interconnected. Moon Moth Bed depicts real luna moths hatching from their cocoons amidst an ethereal video dreamworld set with bells, a miniature moon, and a small moth-scale bed. The film is cocooned in an atmospheric soundscape of rumbling thunderstorms, textured sounds, and twinkling temple bells. In Moon Moth Bed's culminating visual sequence, a deus-ex-machina device enters the film to conjure chaos. In response, the video dreamworld comes alive with sensual flows of honey to restore peace. The video concludes with circle-shaped imagery to symbolize rebirth and conjure hope. Moon Moth Bed was directed, edited, produced, sound-scored, and performed-by multimedia artist Virginia L. Montgomery alongside her hand-raised luna moth collaborators.

Fragmented Signals 24 explores the errors that occur during digital playback.   The video captures the digital corruption on an electronic billboard in a public street.  The soundtrack was created live in response to the images.

Exo Gestus is an ambient experimental video exploring the way that motion sensors incorrectly track my body. An amalgamation of the glitches that occur from tracking my movements as I dance, rather than correct it, I embrace the glitches of a body that cannot be captured.  My Mocap suit is too big for me. It is designed for a bigger body than mine. My body is too small even for the smallest size. Because of this, my body size creates glitches in the mocap data tracks. I embrace the glitches and dance for the sensors.   The sound is a recording of my feet dragging across the floor. 

This is a visual investigation of proliferation, growth through repetition and accumulation. Continuous expansion and endless repetition seem to be permanent fixtures of contemporary life, and this video utilizes found footage and 3D software to play with loops, repetition, and nightmarish visions of replication. Inky digital blemishes bleed into the visual collages, and wash away the image as the expanding “carchitecture” inevitably collapses.
