In the early 90's I started a series of portraits that referenced the kind of classic painted or photo portrait that upper class people might have hanging above a fireplace or in a formal dining room. In this case they would use emerging video technology and flat screen tv's to create living breathing portraits. I was playing around with ideas about technology, class, wealth etc- and mostly I thought that the images would be creepy. They were. I showed several of filmmakers at cinema texas in 2000. In this short clip I have used my dog spooky, John Simmone, Ayianna Elliot, Alejandro Jodorowsky, Dick Dahl, Enis Sefarsh, and T Sean Meadows.
