New Museum Now

The New Museum temporarily shut their doors due to COVID, so they wanted an online portal to showcase their digital content. New Museum Now is a microsite that highlights their digital initiatives, art programs, online exhibition tours, talks, and more.

Devlin Hair

DevlinHair is a production studio based in NYC. The website is your fairly standard corporate fare: straightforward but well-designed and the code is super clean. It's boring, but so are a lot of things.

Las Tool

Light Art Space, a non-profit arts institution in Berlin, needed a tool to be able to create and export screens using their difficult to replicate custom font. I built the this application along with a developer specializing in GLSL programming.

Ken Millington

For Ken Millington I built an application that takes real-time radio wave data and transforms that into smoothed out bubbles in a mesh, which is then projected onto a wall. Millington built the sculptural element seen on the floor, which contains a coaxial cable running along all of its ridges.

Arthur Ou

With photographer Arthur Ou I've been developing an application to control an AxiDraw machine and translate real-time weather data into steps to draw on photographic negatives with light. We replaced the pen on an AxiDraw with a fiber optic cable attached to an LED light, and use the cloud coverage of locations in the South China Sea to alter the brightness of the light (while moving the cable around the photographic negative).

"Killing Time" is a suite of sculptures exploring themes of time, labor, neoliberalism, alienation, and violence. The sculptures are "Untitled (Watch)," a watch that functions by running a razor blade back and forth at irregular intervals, "Untitled (Computer)," a computer monitor displaying activity logs accompanied by a mouse and keyboard covered in shards of glass, and "Untitled (Phone)," a phone wrapped in barbed wire that plays alarms at irregular intervals. They are the result of an inquiry into the question of how the fantasy of physical violence can allow for an understanding of the non-visible psychic and symbolic violence within the Real of time under neoliberalism.

"Trash Issue" is a series of stills created by using digital trash as the raw material to construct recombinant images, and then using machine learning to describe those images. Over the course of a few months I saved the bytes from all of the screen shots I threw away on my computer. I then created new images from these bytes through a process similar to digital deletion, where I overwrote bytes of one image with random bytes from all the other deleted images. The resulting images were extremely broken: I would open them five different times and be shown five different images. Blocks of color would be shifted, moved around, changed. However, using a machine learning algorithm to provide descriptions of the images would return a consistent output every time, regardless of the display of the image. The images above are examples of the results of this process, in this case they are all a file that was labelled as "a television screen with a picture of a cat on it." The work is about the aesthetic and informational potential of digital waste within the context of the shifting nature of visual culture.

Your Trash Is You

"Fractures" is a series of images glitched by applying sorting algorithms to the pixel data of screenshots. The sorting process is paused periodically and a screenshot of the partially sorted image is taken. The series explores the relationship between algorithms and data, and the application of algorithms to data they weren't meant to manipulate.
