Tyler Jacobsen
is a video and performance artist/electronic musician who works in conjunction
with the media arts collective, Conglomco.org. JacobsenÕs work has been shown
extensively in the past six months across the US, the UK, and Europe. His musical
work with experimental synth-pop groups Denim and Diamonds, and A Roman Scandal,
as well as art rockers, ÉTrail of Dead, has called the attention of such publications as
UKÕs NME. Tyler is currently living and working in Troy, NY. One of his more recent projects
was Re-code.com, a collaboration between Conglomco and The Carbon Defense
League (carbondefense.org). Re-code.com was a barcode database and web-based
application that enabled customers to “name their own price for the products they want to buy”
