Projects
Galleries built from various bodies of my work
These are all under active construction, each project moving into it's own new home. What isn't already a thumbnail directly below will soon have a space to call it's own.
Whirligrid
Whirligrid is a generative art piece—not gen ai—made using p5.js.
The app takes as input a character from Zuzanna Licko's font, Whirligig, as well as a pre-defined color palette. It then generates the composition by randomly applying colors and opacities to the character dupicated a specified number of times and laid out on a grid.
Once generated, I exported vector images from the p5.js canvas and took them into Illustrator to further manipulate color via the advanced recoloring option (highly recommended, and super fun).
This is a series of those finished stills, animated via a JS module I quickly wrote.
Scopus Ex Machina
Scopus Ex Machina is a project that I worked on at RisoLAB. It is focused on interrogating the surveillance proliferating in our society. Part of the project has involved the construction of a facial recognition system running in my apt window.
This is the project presentation that I gave to the Zines and Small Publishing class at RisoLAB.
Thirdeyes
Thirdeyes assists music journalists in writing artist bios. Powered behind the scenes by an orchestration of multiple LLMs, writers can step through and develop the core elements of a bio. Further assiting the writers, information is contextually generated as they interact with the app to inform upon the artist's life and work.
