So this is the video that I submitted for the awards of excellence at RISD. It is about 2 minutes long and does a good job summing up the work that I have done, most of it from the first semester.

This year's Awards of Excellence at RISD heavily favored our Digital Media department, Lucas Roy, Nathaniel Katz, Jeanne Jo, Elizabeth Skadden, and I all got one. Yay!
The juror, Ian Berry said this about my work:
"The wild toolbox of Caleb Larsen’s activities reveals a spirit much like that of an explorer looking for the unknown. As he tries to fix problems of safety and security through exaggerated levels of preparedness, he helps us step back and see what is really going on around us. By extracting information from found sources, whether art, movies, or the web, Larsen is clueing us in to other things we should be noticing and be ready for. "

This month I will be in a an exhibition in Aberdeen, Scotland. The show is called Recoded: Landscapes and Politics of New Media. Here is some text from the website:
Digital technologies have become an integral part of how we work and communicate, understand ourselves and the world. Transforming information and representation, digital media recode communication and representation and alter our experiences. Focusing on re-presentations, exchange and translation between embodied, spatial experience and coded information, the project aims to raise questions about the effects and meanings produced by contemporary digital landscapes.
The exhibition and series of events were developed by Peacock Visual Arts in collaboration with the Centre for Modern Thought at the University of Aberdeen.
Artists in the exhibition: Alexander Egger, skúta, Anna Jermolaewa, Caleb Larsen, Manu Luksch, MediaShed, Trevor Paglen, plan b, RYbN, Jens Strandberg
