I've been doing monster making workshops for a while, where we play a bunch of games and imagine, draw and embody new monsters.

I always wanted to exhibit the drawings in some special way, and finally got to try it as an installation called "Portal to Monster World"

What ever happened to interactive fiction games where you type "north," "take key," etc? Most text games I've seen are more multiple choice style, but I miss trying to interact with random verbs

Go take a look, folks! Zack's creating really bold and experimental work led by emotion and intuition, and his recent dance pieces (top of the page) are so evocative and inspiring ✨
Got the new performance pics up on my website! Even having a website sounds outdated and meaningless, but for some reason I'm still updating it!

My last performance in Japan. it was also a dream come true of live sampled/remixed music from my favorite games!

Kind of a farewell to japan that sums up my experience here as well

This is famous from that Sseth video and for being that "western gay eroge", but I put it right next to Caves of Lore as a wonderful example of something that captures the magic of old-school CRPGs, like a cross between X-COM and Baldur's Gate.

I swear I have gotten so lucky with last minute lighting setup decided before the performance without time to check it. Cause the vibes are vibin!!

From “Kasa Jizo & The Disembodied Head” by the Yokai Boys. This was just my little part at the end 🥹

Kinda shocked by how clunky and buggy Gimp is. Regularly glitches out on the color selection window (which is pretty crucial) and is laggy 🤨

I'll be an artist in residence at "El Hacedor de Imágenes y Palabras" this fall with other artists around the theme of monsters! I'll be building on the monster-making workshops I've been doing in the past few years. Can't wait!
