Zombie Invasion - NYC 2008 from GammaBlog on Vimeo.
This is a 90 second unedited clip of the Zombies coming down the escalator in the mall where Gimbels used to be. You can see a Flickr slideshow of my photos here, but mostly I shot video. I caught a lot of wacky stuff, there were few slackers, everyone put on a show.
Convergence Center from GammaBlog on Vimeo.
Creative Time’s year-long program Democracy in America: The National Campaign culminates in the Convergence Center: a major exhibition, participatory project space, and meeting hall mounted in New York City’s Park Avenue Armory just in time for election season.
My video includes an interview with Chitra Ganesh talking about Index of the Disappeared. The show goes from playful to thoughful, to terrifying to silly with everything scattered throughout the huge Park Avenue Armory. I enjoyed exploring the building, you have access up to the fourth floor. I shot it early Sunday afternoon before the performers and speakers were scheduled. The unknown Karaoke guy at the end was the only person with guts enough to lay it all out on the line while I was there.

This video of the opening celebration features the music of What Cheer? Brigade and Dark Dark Dark.
This was one of my favorite pieces from Swoon’s show opening, last night at Deitch Projects in Long Island City.
Swoon had help from 75 collaborators in putting the show together, and the result of all that collective labor is spectacular. Get to the gallery before sunset. It is best in natural light.
