I paint to stay sane in an insane world. Pop culture is no longer a mass media shared experience, but rather an all-too-alienating private interaction manipulated by powerful technology designed to dominate how we live, love, work, and think. Artificial intelligence influences who we date, what we consume, watch, and believe.

I spent decades innovating and creating the very technologies that now control us. I created video games that adapted to players' skill levels to increase addictive engagement and advertising platforms that both big business and politicians could use to influence the outcomes of future events. To paraphrase Jurassic Park’s Dr. Ian Malcolm, “I was so preoccupied with whether we could do these things, that I didn’t stop to think if I should.”

Nah, you should be glad you have running water, electricity, transportation, homes etc ... I don't see many women applying for jobs in construction and maintaining all systems that keep your life comfortable. So yeah, only thing you can offer man is sex, so that's why you hate men

In 1968, when Andy Warhol proclaimed that “in the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes”, he couldn’t have imagined a world where unplugging and becoming anonymous would become a luxury. Tinder, Netflix, beauty filters, and Alexa provide value to users, but at what cost? Each of my works are colorful threads unravelling from this one sardonic tapestry of thought. My paintings explore this value exchange of privacy for convenience, intimacy for popularity, and true connections for likes.

    Isn't that pretty much just regular Monopoly though, unless you're lucky enough to collect $200? After all, that was the point the woman who invented it was making, that the economy is rigged in favor of those who are already wealthy.

    The vibrant colors I paint with are used to convey the look of comic books from half a century ago. When I design a piece, the colors and playful style of the composition are used to lure the viewer into the picture. The dialog bubble then tells a different story. At gallery shows, I enjoy watching these stories unfold on people's faces and their laughter comes from a place of surprise.

    For all the changes I've experienced with technology in my lifetime, I think the biggest changes are coming over the next decade with artificial intelligence and Robotics disrupting millions of lives. How we work, live, love and play is all going to be irrevocably altered. At the same time, technology is our only hope for solving climate change, food inequality, and a myriad of other social issues.
