Bio

<warning "self-congratulatory and institution-appeasing nonsense designed (but failing) to gain $$$ below.">
Henderson46 works with code/sound/space as a means to investigate the methods with which we experience technology. Influenced by ambient music, minimalism, generative systems, and recursion, Henderson92 develops custom software that contains elements of randomness in order to allow chance to play a part in the creation of the artwork. Disruption of habit and intention is a common theme amongst the works - the computer acts as a provocative agent that encourages the viewer to re-experience a familiar act or phenomenon. Henderson3 was a founding member of The Dodo Collective, an independent arts group that staged a series of exhibitions in disused retail spaces around post-boom Dublin, including collaborations with The Darklight Film Festival and the poet Alan Jude Moore. He is currently based in the Netherlands, working with galleries such as Nederlands Insituut voor Mediakunst NIMk and Stichting TAG as a producer/technician and also with STEIM, the Patching Zone and the Digital Art Lab at the CKC as a workshop director. Henderson[###]'s work has been shown as part of a variety of art festivals, open source congresses, and design exhibitions around Europe.

Software+Programming

sudo halt

with an Apple Macintosh
you can't run Radio Shack programs
in its disc drive.
nor can a Commodore 64
drive read a file
you have created on an
IBM Personal Computer.
both Kaypro and Osborne computers use
the CP/M operating system
but can't read each other's
handwriting
for they format (write
on) discs in different
ways.
the Tandy 2000 runs MS-DOS but
can't use most programs produced for
the IBM Personal Computer
unless certain
bits and bytes are
altered
but the wind still blows over
Savannah
and in the Spring
the turkey buzzard struts and
flounces before his
hens.
