Mike Celona's primary interest is in the creation of multi-media works that combine images and sounds manifesting his often humorously  twisted perception of the world.   He is also keenly interested in exploring the potential of the internet as a contemporary art exhibition space and increasingly creates works specifically for the computer environment.  He currently lives and works in Rochester, New York - not that physical location matters all that much anymore.
