The computational world of Artificial Nature consists of organisms interacting within an environment, consuming flowing energy and matter to grow and survive, generating continuous patterns of emergent beauty.

The logical next evolutionary step is obvious; to embed electronics directly into the food we consume. Our electronics should be as consumable and as perishable as our food.

Instances of Commediation recreates the multiplicity of environments we live in today, along with our spatial impermanence. Five LCD screens show different perspectives of simultaneous fictional events that begin as watercolor paintings and later become animated.

The system automatically superimposes animations on t-shirts and projects the resulting image on a screen. To achieve this effect in real time, the system first registers a deformable 2D mesh with the view of the t-shirt. Then it evaluates illumination to reproduce it on the virtual elements. It also segments possible occlusions.

In this work, a bicycle generator powers a water pump and lighting system for a plantation of hydroponically grown, edible plants. The plants provide nourishment for the biker, and this sealed micro-ecosystem asks: What are the limits of human sustainability?

This performance interlaces the movements of a performer with the choreography of the sound. The flutist uses the sound, the room, and her movements to affect the resonances of a space, mixing technology, music, and pathways to discover new meanings of space.

Miniverse2 presents a bird's-eye view of people in minimalist uniforms performing a structured choreography. The ball displays scenes in which workers become part of a synchronized movement as they perform tasks that must be done 24 hours a day to keep nature balanced and to allow humanity to survive on our planet in our current numbers.

LoopLoop is made from a sequence captured in a train en route to Hanoi. The 1,000 images of this sequence were stitched into one long panoramic image and integrated with other moving elements. Using smooth transitions, animation, and time shifts, the video runs forward and backward, looking for forgotten details, mimicking the way memories are replayed in the mind.

Website Impersonations: The Next Generation is a new installation and live performance series that utilizes web code as layout and choreography.

Data from the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration processed to create animations of flight traffic patterns and density.
