Seek (in progress) Interactive Fluorescein Installation
This month, I received the shipments for many of the electromechanical and optical components of the piece. I was particularly thrilled that the
waterproof strand of 250 UV lights were segment-able, allowing for a much easier install. Among the great news is that each of the component lights operates at 6-12V which makes a fully Arduino-controlled installation feasible. :)
So, current status.
Lights have been constructed
. (64 lights) Photo to be posted soon.
Decided to use a Max/MSP to Arduino firmware for easy interfacing and control of lights for prototyping.
Tested infrared and pressure sensors. (Work great!!!)
Developed a MAX external that will allow me to program animation frames given triggers (sensors)
What remains:
Construct light array. Decide on animations. Program sequences to triggers.
Visual Language :: Camouflage, Postcards, and Greeting Cards
Colorblind, Acrylic on canvas
This piece aims to address the visual language of camouflage with soft organic interlocking shapes. Camouflage is distinct in that it follows tesselated patterns that often conflict between the disambiguation of positive and negative space. Complementary colors where used to further distinguish this effect as well as lose the functionality of occlusion.
Frida and a Chango, Vinyl on concrete.
A satirical expression of Cinco de Mayo celebration in the US.
Faded, Vellum.
Many times, words or phrases become lost or less used with changes in our environment. Often times, these phrases can be categorized as greetings, formalities, or daily interactions. These pop-ups attempt to reinstate these forgotten words, but through the subtle shadows comment on its removal from our daily interactions.
