Check out my most recent exploration of memory through new media: Dump Site, a collection of files from trash folders and recently deleted
Also check out Output Field, a Sustainable Cemetery, New Art City Accessibility Audit, and End of Life Toolkit. Below is a selection of my work.
01
Dump Site is a collection of files from trash folders & recently deleted. It is a virtual landfill and digital recycling program. The things we throw away are candid shadows of the things we keep close: drafts, secrets, outtakes, likes and dislikes, significant memories, important people, inspirations. Dump Site is a public diary, a screenshot confessional. Exploring memory through the lens of discard, these second-hand files piece together a common past. Dump Site exists as a confluence of discard theory, archival theory, media theory, and memory work.
02
A 501(c)3 non-profit gathering a list of experimental artists, curators, and spaces. Through amplifying underrepresented voices in the arts, Output Field’s mission is to breach the canon & redistribute clout.
03
In collaboration with Casper Go and Sylvia Ke, I use eye-tracking data to generate tattoo designs based on sentimental imagery provided (and looked at) by clients. Playing with the permanence of tattoo and the fleeting nature of memory, I tattoo one’s impression of a photo rather than the photo itself. In this project, rapid eye movements are captured, quantified, massaged through TouchDesigner, and etched into the skin.
04
A physical toolkit to help visitors process grief and/or prepare for end of life for themselves or a loved one.
05
In partnership with Andy Slater, founder of the Society of Visually Impaired Sound Artists, I led a user-research project to establish both UX/UI and Strategic avenues to make New Art City more accessible. New Art City is an online exhibition platform, and Output Field’s partner.
06
This cemetery concept saves resources without compromising significance, spirituality, and the overall experience of death and dying.
07
These are worry stones. Crafted from marble remnants of local gravestone makers, each is intended to facilitate grief by allowing the mourner to interact with a symbolic artifact in remembrance of loved ones.
