Artist residencies at Yaddo, the Experimental Television Center, and the Cité Internationale des Arts. During residency in Paris, I grew 300 trees from seeds gathered from an historic European Beech tree that grows in the United States. Created one of the internet's first collaborative web sites, online in 5 languages, through which I invited "people voyaging through the hyperspeedy international space of cyberculture, to plant a tree in our old planet." Mailed seeds and tree growing instructions to web browsers from around the world, and exchanged trees for creative contributions to the site with over 230 people from 38 different countries. Exhibitions supported by many public, private and academic grants, awards and commissions. Work held in collections in the US and Europe. http://mysite.verizon.net/artbyte/selectedWks1.htm
