About
Taylor’s work focuses on themes of erasure, recombination, revision, spectrality, surrealization, derealization, and possession, and manifests primarily as text and sound. Taylor’s practice is currently situated in a discourse of interdimensionality and non-duality, working against practices of pure rationalism. His work is in the collection of the Los Angeles Contemporary Archive, and he has lead workshops and discussions on subjects such as listening, sound art, cryptography, digital audio production, critical theory, and aesthetics.
