In the Visual Arts Department most of his teaching is in the Computing in the Arts area and with the Interdisciplinary Computing in the Arts major. His courses focus on the engagement of real-time computer graphics, media and electronic controls for installation works. His artwork examines relationships between information and space, which manifest as public artworks, and installations that combine architectural settings with mediated and computer controlled elements. Recent projects include: Mi Casa es Tu Casa/My House Is Your House, 1997 - 2000, a networked virtual reality installation between the National Center for the Arts in Mexico City and the Children's Museum of San Diego; In the Event, 1995, at the Seattle Center Key Arena, Seattle WA, 60ft. x 8 ft. x 2 ft., 28 video monitors, 9 computers, video disk, 3 live feeds, 70 cast aluminum panels; The Video Wind Chimes, 1994, at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, San Francisco, CA, four video projectors, electronic controls, aluminum, plastic; and Apparitions, 1994, a virtual reality environment, at the University Art Gallery at UCSD.
