Temporary Housing for the Despondent Virtual Citizen (2000) is an environment for the technophobe, technophile and tech-inept.

The installation is comprised of numerous components, including a patchboard intercom system, a surveillance-themed café, a vending machine, an arcade game, a coffee machine to bring beginners up to speed, and a sculpture garden with leashed mobile units with adjustable antennas, strobe lights, magic 8 ball interface and single channel video "Are you still blam?".

Commissioned as a solo exhibition in May 2000 by O.K Center for Contemporary Arts in Linz, Austria. The exhibition was represented at ICA Philadelphia (2000) and as a two person exhibition, The Electric Donut, with artist Joe McKay at the New Museum (2001).
