BIO
My work is about ethics and it asks the oldest of questions: what does it mean to live a good life?
What is our responsibility to each other, to our families, to those with disabilities, to the past? In the
face of tragedy how do we reaffirm that life is good. These are the themes of my work.
I am an associate professor at Austin Peay State University and live in Clarksville, TN with my wife, Jennifer,
and our four children, Marlena, Aidan, Hope and Elliott.
I also work in the audio/ video collaborative Black & Jones and perform in the vj duo [ fladry + jones ].

TERMINALapsu.org Announces Launch of "Infinite Glitch" by Ben Baker-Smith
Dates:
Tue Jan 25, 2011 09:14 - Tue Jul 31, 2012
Location:
Clarksville,
Tennessee
United States of America
United States of America
TERMINAL is pleased to announce the launch of "Infinite Glitch" by Ben
Baker-Smith. It is the fourth TERMINAL Award project to launch this
academic year.
Every day an incomprehensible number of new digital media files are
uploaded to hosting sites across the internet. Far too many for any one
person to consume. Infinite Glitch is a stream-of-conciousness representation of this overwhelming flood of media, its fractured and degraded sounds and images reflecting how little we as an audience are able to retain from this daily barrage.
Infinite Glitch is an automated system that generates an ever-changing audio/video stream from the constantly increasing mass of media files freely available on the web. Source audio and video files are ripped from a variety of popular media hosting sites, torn apart, and recombined using collage and glitch techniques to create an organic, chaotic flood of sensory input.
Benjamin Baker-Smith is currently employed as a video editor, streaming media expert, and web developer at Backstar Creative Media in Chicago, IL. He maintains a website and active blog at bitsynthesis.com, and is a contributing writer for vagueterrain.net and the Backstar company blog (backstar.com/blog). He has done freelance web design for Statewide Software (statewidesoftware.com) and lectured on basic website creation to students at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. He is the creator and maintainer of Upflickr (Rubygems.org/gems/upflickr/), a Ruby gem that makes it easier to upload and organize images on flickr using the Ruby programming language.

TERMINALapsu.org Announces Launch of New Work by Michael Demers
Dates:
Mon Nov 15, 2010 00:00 - Sun Nov 14, 2010
TERMINALapsu.org announces the launch of"The Sky is Falling (A Day in the Life)" by Michael Demers
TERMINALapsu.org has awarded four artists with small stipends to aid in the creation of new internet based artworks. This is the first year of an annual award process.
This year we are pleased to announce the four artists selected are Jody Zellen, Michael Demers, Benjamin Baker-Smith, and Scott Kildall. Their proposals were selected from scores of entries.
On November 15, "The Sky is Falling (A Daqy in the Life) " by Michael Demers will launch.
"This work consists of captured Sony PlayStation3 video from Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, edited to reflect the seamless passing of game time and "real" time. One minute of "real" time equals approximately 30 minutes of game time. The resulting 24 two-minute videos record the passing of one game day.
References to playable characters, AI characters, and accompanying sound effects have been edited from the video in an effort to focus on the notion of a virtual space with the possibility of non-virtual habitation, defined in part by the passing of game time during the observers "real" time. The health meter, magic meter, stamina meter, weapon and magic selections and the game compass have been unedited as a digital referent in the hyperreal environment of the game engine.
The footage was captured using the Haupauge HD PVR, and edited on a MacBook Pro using Final Cut Pro. The 24 html pages were built in Adobe Dreamweaver, and use javascript to call a specific page (and the embedded video) based upon the users local time (ex: If someone is viewing the page at 3:40pm local time, video15, containing footage from 3:00 to 3:59pm game time, will be played). An additional piece of javascript tells the browser to refresh itself every two minutes, to ensure that subsequent videos will load appropriately."
