New Turbulence Commission: "Inter-face" by David Jhave Johnston
http://www.turbulence.org/Works/johnston/index.html

"Inter-face" is a video-mixer, sound-shredder and poetic notebook.
Composited words explode from the mouth, or the eyes, or the skin, and
leap and land or collide against other bodies, other objects.
"Inter-face" utilizes composited video output from ActiveText and some
sound files generated by IXI software within a Flash GUI.

BIOGRAPHY

David Jhave Johnston is a multimedia-poet currently living in Montreal.
Among other artistic activities, he has exhibited site-specific
installations with the Symbiosis Collective, written and directed
multi-media theatre with the Collective Unconscious Collective, and
recorded spoken-word electronica for the now-defunct underground ZOI
label. Recently he contributed to a CD-ROM project entitled
"Navigateur," modified video for the video billboard "Transmedia2002"
festival, worked on a Kali-scope projection project, completed a music
video for Brian Sanderson. He speaks regularly at conferences on webart,
and is finishing a degree in computer science at Concordia University.

Before devoting himself completely to digital creation in 1998, Jhave
finished a six-year exploratory-font project of handwritten mixed-media
which was entitled "Book." The web project "NomadLingo"–a year long
exploration of digitally-generated mobile-text work–was created from
April 1, 2000 to April 1, 2001 and exhibited as monthly installments at
www.year01.com.
