Scream

Machine

to speak with intense expression

a device for performing a task
a sudden loud penetrating cry, expressing anger, terror or pain
an instrument that transmits or modifies the application of power or force
to make violent protestations a structure or constructed thing whether material or immaterial
to move with a screaming sound an assemblage of parts that transmit forces, motion and energy one to another in some predetermined manner and to some desired end
to produce a vivid startling effect a person or organization that acts like or resembles a machine

I am an Irish artist, living and working in New York since 1987. I continue to work on an ever-evolving project titled “screaMachine”, which I started in 1987. ScreaMachine is realized in the form of installations, performances, audio and video works, films, digital media art and more. My work is by nature experimental; it pushes the boundaries of new media, experiential and time based art. I produce works that are flexible and that can have many incarnations.
