Wizard of Odd
Wizard of Odd is the result of the artist's investigation into American colonialism employing a search engine and online resources. The visuals of the animation loosely follow a developmental timeline. The audio is produced by a text-to-speech program reading aloud portions of Marx's Capital which were selected using Jackson Mac Low's diastic reading algorithm.

While the visual loosely follows a developmental timeline, text harvested from Marx's "Capital" via Jackson Mac Low's diastic reading algorhythm is rendered through a text-to-speech program.
First performed at Marygrove College in Detroit by a projector and 2 laptops, audio and visuals are merged for the net.version.
Inspired by and dedicated to Jackson Mac Low and L. Frank Baum.
