This project started with acrylic on canvas, and wound up in Illustrator and Flash. These portraits were done to experiment with facial recognition when limited to only one color of paint.

Main Entry: LABANOTATION
Function:noun
Etymology: Rudolf Laban died 1958 Hungarian dance theorist + English notation
Date: 1952

: a method of recording bodily movement (as in dance) on a staff by means of symbols (as of direction) that can be aligned with musical accompaniment

What could labanotation look like in Flash, with control over time? This experiment served as the projected backdrop for “A Cup of Joe,” an installation performance by Linden Ontjes for the 2006 Bumbershoot Festival in Seattle.

Enough monkeys, enough typewriters and enough time, and eventually, one is bound to write some Shakespeare. That’s a true Comedy of Errors.

This ancient Chinese text needed a refresh for the 21st Century.

From one large illustration of a tree created by blowing ink across a page, a vector rendition was made and then sliced into 81 pieces on a 9 by 9 grid — one slice for each verse of the Tao. Add a spacious grid and a minimal typeface, and the Tao Te Ching suddenly becomes modern, accessible and inviting.
