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 ].

Lines of Life by Jody Zellen
Dates:
Mon Oct 25, 2010 00:00 - Mon Oct 25, 2010
Terminal is pleased to announce the launch of Lines of Life by Jody Zellen.
http://TERMINALapsu.org
"I am interested in drawing and how a computer algorithm traces an image turning it into a line drawing. In the "Lines of Life" I will begin with a grid of images that are computer traces of news imagery, that when rolled over display the source image. From this grid will be 72 different clickable squares each that takes you down a different life line. The subject for the pathways is the perils of war, as war imagery has predominated in the media over the last year. An integral part of this project will be a series of Flash animations that utilize clips of soldier's videos of the Iraq war uploaded to You Tube. The film footage is not credited as it is meant to fill in the background becoming the live action behind the line drawings and be the motivation for the movements within."
Jody Zellen is a Los Angeles based artist who works in many media simultaneously making net art, photographs, installations, public art and artists books. She employs media-generated representations as raw material for aesthetic and social investigations. Recent projects include "The Unemployed" a interactive data visualization at Cerritos College (Los Angles, 2009), a site specific interactive installation entitled "The Blackest Spot" at Fringe Exhibitions (Los Angles, 2008). Other interactive installations include "Trigger" (Pace University, NY, 2005) and "Disembodied Voices" (Los Angles, 2004). Zellen's interactive website "Ghost City" begun in 1997 is an ever changing meditation on the urban environment. "Crowds and Power" was the October 2002 portal for the Whitney Museum's artport. Other recent net art projects include "Without A Trace" (a 2009 turbulence.org commission), urbanfragments.net, allthenewsthatfittoprint.net, talking-walls.com and disembodiedvoices.com.

From Red Paint Hill by Phillip Andrew Lewis
Dates:
Mon Mar 02, 2009 00:00 - Tue Mar 03, 2009
The Center of Excellence for the Creative Arts, the Department of Art, and Terminal at Austin Peay State University are pleased to announce the launch of From Red Paint Hill by Phillip Andrew Lewis.
http://terminalapsu.org/fromredpainthill/index.html
From Red Paint Hill is the first work commissioned by Terminal.
From Red Paint Hill
Project Statement
Phillip Andrew Lewis
"In 1768 the famous historical American surveyor, Thomas Hutchins, identified Red Paint Hill as the navigational landmark and point of beginning for the North Tennessee land now known as Clarksville. At the confluence of the Cumberland and Red Rivers, the city began its development within the geometric forms outlined in this survey. Along these plotted lines, roads and passageways were formed. As the city grew beyond these original plots, the grid quickly broke down.
Using this historic city design, current field recordings retrace the original grid lines with the sounds found along these boundaries. This sonic survey becomes a new connection to the origins of the city."
