Clouds

Computational Documentary

Clouds features prominent and emerging computer hackers, media artists, and critics talking about the creative use of code, the future of data, interfaces, and computational visuals. A series of conversational vignettes centered around thematic topics, the subjects float in a black void, their figures composed of tiny points connected by lines that flicker and break apart at the edges. They're made out of pure computational matter -- the same class of material the artist depicted work with on a daily basis.

DepthEditorDebug

Photographic Process Study

DepthEditorDebug is the latest output from a collaborative photography and software project with Alexander Porter.

We intend for these images to represent a hint of the potential for play and experimentation in a world of advanced imaging technology.

The images depict fragments of candid photographs placed into 3-dimensional space. They use depth data captured from a Microsoft XBOX Kinect video game controller with hacked drivers, digital SLR images, and custom software.

Temporary Cities

Audio/Visual Performance

Temporary Cities is a performance combining an augmented reality visual instrument with live synthesized sound composition by Daniel Peterson.

A series of six vignettes, the performance draws inspiration from contemporary trends towards elaborate and disposable systems in software, architecture and social networks.

The project questions what cities of the future will function. Rapidly designed, instantaneously built, elaborated on then rendered obsolete by the next iteration. When math and material merge we will live in a world of temporary cities.
