  • Rainbow In The Dark

    Rainbow In The Dark

    Rainbow in the Dark is an interactive networked web application invites the user to align a number of shapes with those of other visitors. It was created as a component of my MFA thesis exhibition, Perennial, where gallery visitors were encouraged to ‘sync’ these overlapping shapes using their mobile devices, eliciting colorful, cascading visuals as the shapes align.

    The project is still available at the link below, although it does require multiple visitors to function.

  • Community Garden

    Community Garden

    Community Garden is a web and AR piece that involves multiple users growing trees in a shared online 3D space. It was created as a component of my MFA thesis exhibition, Perennial, which gave visitors an opportunity to plant a unique plant form in the gallery space.

    The project is still available at the link below, although the location based aspects might not work as well outside of the gallery it was made for.

  • Flyback Transformer

    Flyback Transformer

    flyback transformer is an audiovisual piece created in 2020. The video follows a path through places I’ve lived reconstructed from memory. The audio for the piece consists of a recording I made of multiple CRT televisions, the mechanical sounds of VCRs, and incidental noises from a video game consoles.

    The 3D environments were created in MySweetHome3D, with additional video processing in Max/MSP, and all audio was sampled.

    A Week of Earworms is an interactive web application that looks to visualize the melodies I had stuck in my head from October 18th, 2020 to October 24th 2020. A list of all music I listened to is juxtaposed with the melodies that became earworms. The music can be scrubbed through, each contains an attempt to transcribe the earworm from memory.

  • Inkjet Camouflage

    Inkjet Camouflage

    Inkjet Camouflage (2019) came out of a speculative short story where handmade dazzle camouflage cloaks are used to evade computer-vision surveillance. I wanted to create a mockup of this using whatever material I had on hand, sourcing the fabric from household scraps and printing on it using an inkjet printer and freezer paper. It’s accompanied by a pattern generator, something that I continued with as it became camogen.
