Inherent Malice II: Zombie Formalism

Anthropocene Beach is a fragmented microdocumentary film spread over different platforms and formats. It's an ongoing project that began in 2015 covering beaches in South Florida and New England capturing minor moments of people in a rapidly-changing ecology through the signature use of datamoshed loops. Selections of Anthropocene Beach have been shown around the world including FILE 2017 and the GIPHY Microcinema Festival.

*Ecco the Dolphin: C a t a c l y s m* reimagines the classic Sega Genesis game, *Ecco: The Tides of Time* as a parable for the Anthropocene told through a series of postcards and looping animated GIFs. Works were created by glitching ROM files of the 1994 game, recording the ensuing game performances, and crafting looping videos from these recordings. *Ecco: The Tides of Time* was the sequel to *Ecco the Dolphin*, a game franchise that has earned a cult reputation for its unique graphics (designed by László Szenttornyai and Ed Annunziata) and post-human storyline, influenced by John C. Lilly's controversial research with psychedelics and dolphins. In *Ecco the Dolphin: C a t a c l y s m*, the threat of an alien invasion has given way to ecological collapse and the resulting collective chaos, exemplified through endless glitches and corrupted gameplay mechanics.
