Physical Bodies
Chromacaster
Wearable: A live performance system that turns analogue sound waves from a bass guitar into flashing light waves
My Child Will Dance
Puppet: A short performance with a "trick" marionette questioning sentience for servitude, combining parallels of molding in performance, parenthood, and artificial intelligence
Harmodica
Gadget: A modulating "mod" attachment for a harmonica fashioned from a dismantled multi-setting toy voice changer
Exquisite New York
Installation: An automated diorama of the Brooklyn Bridge showing off all the wheels of New York transit in motion.
Dinophyte (WIP)
Wearable: A detachable modular system that frames light integrated clothing as evolutionary symbiosis through reactive body sensors
Digital Taxidermy
Installation: Projection mapped "monitors" archiving the extinct Rock Dove in temporal loops, asking how we will remember and reflect in an age of perfect recordings.
dotNate
Puppet: The shady computer assistant of the mad monkey scientist Dr.Bovy! Banana Joe fears that his first day on the internship might literally make him lose his mind.
Exalt the Endless, Deify the Wild
Sculpture: Silicone molded figurine poured from rockrete and plaster simulating rises and falls of construction material across time and the persistence of nature as a faith and muse throughout.
