Media and technology consulting for museum, gallery, and residential exhibition.
Based in Los Angeles.
I help organizations move from proposal to finished installation plan, while controlling equipment costs and overhead. I provide clear, simple communication about complex technologies, reducing uncertainty around time-based media installations.
Most projects start with a technology list: what you already own, what the artist’s specifications require, should you buy or rent, and which purchases, if needed, will keep serving you after the show closes. From there, we can calculate cable runs, projector positions, speaker placements, and I can produce wiring and installation diagrams and work directly with the artist/studio and your in-house team to see the project through to completion.
A background in technology with the toolkit of a professional art installer — I have over 15 years of experience working directly with museums, artists, galleries, and institutions. I bring my unique skill set to demanding and technically complex projects, where standard solutions don't apply. Specializations include: projection mapping, multi-channel BrightSign programming, video synchronization, multi-channel audio installation, equipment specification and review, and coordination/facilitation between multiple contractors and crews.
Fluent in both the needs of an artist's studio and the realities of installation — I translate complex technical requirements into clear plans that make sense to preparators, operations staff, and gallery teams. Early involvement helps identify and eliminate problems before they arise on site.
Whether helping assess the feasibility of a new project or restoring and rebuilding older work, I can help studios meet their specialized technology needs for audio, video, and media-based artwork. I have rebuilt old multi-channel media systems to run on new technology, helped redeploy legacy technology from previous museum exhibitions for new institutions, restored old speaker systems, and written installation manuals ensuring the needs of a given project are clearly communicated to installation teams. If you are unsure where to begin, please feel free to get in touch for a consultation.
Year-long institutional planning phase with international teams
Multi-element installation with motorized projectors, synchronized projection mapping, and surround sound audio. Full AV consulting and facilitation across a complex institutional planning process.
Seven-year ongoing relationship, multichannel video and sound installations
Broad installation services including full AV consultation, implementation, live event support, and troubleshooting for exhibitions of work by: David Hammons, Jenny Holzer, Harmony Korine, Mike Kelley, Lucio Fontana, Martin Creed, Paul McCarthy, Jason Rhoades, Mika Rottenberg, Gary Simmons, and Daniel Turner.
Corporate installation, full AV consulting and implementation
Four-channel video and seven-channel audio installations at Apple campus, coordinated full AV installation within an eight-hour window. Equipment consulting, wiring diagrams, BrightSign programming, and on-site troubleshooting.
360 degree curved projection mapping and BrightSign integration
Three-projector installation within a custom conical circular projection environment, projection mapping, and BrightSign integration. Equipment specification, AV consulting, installation planning and completion, integrated with in-house preparator team.
Technology rebuild, remote BrightSign work, AV consulting
Nine-channel video installation re-built on BrightSign architecture for a traveling exhibition. The original system was replaced with a lighter, more flexible solution — smaller footprint, easier to install across multiple venues, and built to travel. Equipment specification, system design, synchronization programming, and installation.
Exhibition installation with consultation and design implementation
Exhibition design implementation for a three-screen installation where ceiling drilling was not permitted. Developed a custom structural solution using a unistrut rack system anchored to the existing H-beam — translating the exhibition designer's drawings into a fully designed, adjustable hanging system with clean, minimal aesthetics.
