He has been part of group shows at the Guggenheim, MoMA, and Whitney Museums, the Liverpool Biennial, and American Museum of the Moving Image, among other venues. He is the recipient of a New Media Grant from the New York State Council on the Arts and commissions from the Whitney Museum and New Radio and Performing Arts, Inc. In 2005, he was named “Best Emerging Artist” by New York Magazine.
