I love staring up at the clouds but I honestly never do this. I mean, I occasionally do this, but not as a habit and not enough so to say that I do this. Filmed mostly during 2020 using a camera I bought using the unemployment flush, the music is made using an app on my ipad that I’m learning piano chords on when not using my Roland-350 keyboard. This piece will eventually last 24 hours on loop and consists of voiceover of my thoughts on a myriad subjects and tangents, as well as music from that year and various radio programs. https://catchingonthieves.com/My-Controlling-Intent-2021 Sun, 09 Jan 2022 22:57:04 +0000 Catching On Thieves https://catchingonthieves.com/My-Controlling-Intent-2021 My Controlling Intent (2021) https://catchingonthieves.com/Memory-Vein-2017-ongoing-series Sun, 09 Jan 2022 17:48:51 +0000 Catching On Thieves https://catchingonthieves.com/Memory-Vein-2017-ongoing-series Memory, Vein︎︎︎ My entire life, as far as I can remember, is defined by and through movies. Not the moving image, not cinema as some high taxonomy of form, but the lowest common denomenator of movie movies. The kind you see but don’t talk about seeing. I mean shit like Predator and Robocop and Honey I Shrunk the Kids and Olive Kitterige. Memory, Vein is my attempt to connect the various memories I have associated with specific scenes in movies, some related directly to the film in question, others so random as to only be the work of the unconscious.&nbsp; https://catchingonthieves.com/MV-The-Collected-Tapes-2020-ongoing-series Sun, 09 Jan 2022 17:48:51 +0000 Catching On Thieves https://catchingonthieves.com/MV-The-Collected-Tapes-2020-ongoing-series ︎︎︎MV: The Collected Tapes As part of my mini-residency at the Philly Asian Performance Artists collective and the Philly Asian American Film Festival, I’m collecting memories associated with near &amp; dear films from friends, acquaintances, and strangers alike to be included in my latest project - Memory Vein: The Collected Tapes. This is an ongoing video series exploring the link between the movies we watch &amp; the memories we attach to them. Each video contains a scene from a film with one memory narrated over it, just like a director's commentary, only, your own. If these inspire you to make your own recording, reach out and I'll happily work with you on rendering your memory into a vein of your own!
