The project i am currently working on is a performance video. When completed, it will be installed in a room incorporated with other mediums. The video deals with a character transformation within myself. The two characters being portrayed are The Bison and The Business Man. The Business Man works in the New York Art Scene. He travels from the Gagosian Gallery to Times Square and then through Central Park.

On his journey he is confronted by the realization that an information overload created by rapid technological advances and media controlled consciousness has placed him in a state of Dementia. Time has stopped as he retreats through the park only to find an abandoned shack containing the Bison. The Bison is based on a primal mythological beast. He becomes the Bison and begins to ravage the walls surrounding the altar with a uncontrolled beast like aggression. In the end the beast sacrifices himself, the buisnes man is now able to sell the shack and all its possessions to the Gagosian.
