I contribute on occasion to YUXTAPONGO, a juxtaposition-based television show created by a diverse cast of local, national, and international artists and musicians. It was begun by Neill Prewitt in 2009. A new episode airs monthly on Public Access TV channels in Raleigh and Chapel Hill. Neill and I have collaborated on a series of installations, repurposing and remixing YUXTAPONGO contributions to create compelling new experiences in gallery spaces.
