ART & TECHNOLOGY
ARTIST STATEMENT
My artwork focuses on scientific investigation and our place in the world. From aquaponics, nuclear science, and interactive exhibitions, I’ve always had the audience experience as main component to my art.
CLOUD CHAMBER
A cloud chamber is a particle detector used for visualizing the movement of ionizing radiation. This project entails the everyday effects of radiation humans encounter daily.
PROJECT S.I.M.P
Project Sympathetic Interpersonal Metaphysical Personnel [S.I.M.P]. Featuring a deep exploration into the archetypes of online chat roulette personas. As seen through intimate conversations, anonymity and liminality play as pertinent factors to the ever changing cyberspace.
THE PAST IS PRESENT
Inspired by the quote, “The past is present memory, not gone, but held as long as I want to hold it.” This interactive experience that would draw participants particle by particle from a live camera feed.
THE PONIC PROJECT
A three step cube with integrated aquaponics and vermiculture. Everything from the bountiful organically grown produce down to the nutrient rich fish waste is an important part of keeping the system at a homeostasis. Even the discards from the plants are happily consumed by the worms in the vermiculture system which thus produces wonderful micro and macronutrients that can be added to existing soil as a fertilizer. The Ponic Project produces these structures at various scales to be a hands on interactive installation. Today's agriculture systems heavily camouflage the process between soil to table thus causing a rift between people's relationship to food. These systems give agency to many living in food scarce areas that lack access to affordable fruits and vegetables. TALK AND MOTION
An interactive sculpture that reacts to sound. A conversation on the dependent relationship of the viewer to artwork.
