2002/2003   Jackal Project - [ website ] - 4.02 and 6.21 Chicago MCA / Summer 2002 Siggraph02
In the grey space between utopia and dystopia we who are jackals live on the edges. Opportunistic omnivores are unavoidably circling your city! There have always been jackals, there always will be jackals. We are the ones who put your tech to use, the ones who recycle the glut and make it useful in aesthetic glory. The technology is neither servant nor master, but merely our raw material, to gnaw, rework, shape and build.

Rhi-Zone! - (PROPOSED)
TangentLab presents Rhi-Zone, a videogame and database frontend unlike anything you've experienced before. You play a transdimensional cyberspace explorer, searching for gems of net.art throughout the virtual universe. Explore fantastic worlds packed with traps, enemies, and puzzles. Collect data objects from Earth's premiere database of net.art and net.text, using special items and secret codes to access hard-to-find nodes of data.

2001 LFMI - website
Second generation of the Last, First, Middle Initial project, using an online survey and database to drive net.art pieces in an exploration of demographic data and "personalized" online experience. LFMI was created by TangentLab members and Dave Grant.

2000 Last, First, Middle Initial - group exhibition
LFMI was the project which helped to establish the nucleus of the tangentlab group. In addition to the members of tangentlab, the following individuals were instrumental in creating both physical and virtual manifestations of the show: Jeff Holmes, Dave Juros, Dave Grant, Jin Ah Roh, Uncle Woody Sullender. A group exhibition project exploring the use of databases and personalized technology. Visitors to the gallery filled out computerized surveys which were used by a series of networked interactive pieces to create customized artworks, including sound compositions, video projections, digital films and holograms.
