HELLO!

On this page, you’ll find four projects that are relevant to my proposal. They're listed in the order of the most relevant.

Thanks for looking :)

SEED BANK – 2017

Interactive Collage, IRL Glass objects, Future Artifact, Custom AR App. Debuted at Spring Break, NYC

Seed Bank is a collection of memories that preserves and documents the artist’s practice. 
An old wooden chest with an intricately carved symbol on the top holds several “seeds”, as well as a modern, illuminated viewing surface. 

Seed Bank is a piece of layered reality; a combination of old and new art making techniques, ideas,  and aesthetics.

The seeds are hand blown glass objects, each small enough to fit in one's hand.

They are totally unique, yet organic AR targets, with a minimal amount of design control in their design. As tactile objects, they give weight to an otherwise invisible, digital realm.

Every seed contains a memory contained visible via an augmented reality layer. The AR layer can only be seen when light is passed through the seeds. 

The seeds react to each other when placed next to one another. Becoming more active, they form a “neural network”.

The box is a found object, which has been refurbished and retrofitted with black mirror, lucite and a tablet in the base for the seeds to sit on. The tablet allows for illumination and further opportunities to trigger AR. 

The AR is accessed via a custom app (developed in Unity) and published by the artist. Real time updates to seeds can happen via visitors' smartphones, a database, and computer setup onsite. 

UFO – 2011

Collaborative Collage, IRL objects, iPad, Custom AR App. Debuted at Gallery 51, North Adams Ma. 

This interactive collage let people engage in creative play - placing different blocks next to each other to make animated AR collages. Some blocks had animations, some had physics on them, which would effect the others' particles. The collages were displayed on a monitor in the gallery for shared viewing.

FLOW- 2011- present

Visualized Collective Consciousness, Projection, Fabric, Custom Unity App,  Debuted at Ondarte Artists residency, Akumal Mexico 

Visualized collective consciousness. 

FLOW has been installed in multiple locations, including Ideal Glass NYC, and Ahau Hotel, Tulum, Mexico.

GHOSTS IN THE RAIN- 2019

Interactive Collage, Shoji Screens, Umbrella, Projection, Custom Unity App, Created for and Art event at Ace Hotel, NYC 

An installation at Ace Hotel that captured people’s faces and subtly mixed them into the digital “rain” around them. 

The projection was time-shifted, so that the faces and actions were a little delayed, creating echoes and a dreamy dialogue with the recent past.
