[IN]ACCESSIBLE VOICES

The VIBE Network is an initiative created to make the voices of visually impaired musicians accessible. The project explored challenges and opportunities to create a platform that normalizes accessibility in technology, music and social spaces. The logo features the name of the initiative. The abstracted nodes within network graph spell "network" in Braille.

LIGHT FUN

When something shines,
What comes to mind?

With respect to time,
What thoughts do you find?

Think of day, think of night,
Think of heat, think of light.

Think of on, think of off,
Think of hard, think of soft.

Think of dark[ness], think of sheen,
Think of white, think of green.

Think of cold, think of warm,
Think of shape, think of form.

Within are the graphics created and a selection of photos taken for a motion piece submitted to the 2011 Prix ARS Electronica [THE NEXT IDEA] competition.

MIRROR MIRROR

As I am wont to experiment with abstraction, I used the wave formula to propagate various effects while engaging the webcam as a mirror. As far as interaction is concerned, it probably wasn't the best thing to do; it would be hard for anyone who used the mirror to detect how they were effecting it. But, it was fun. However, for one of my non-abstracted mirrors, I did manage to create an RGB mirror that "prints" CMYK. The further away one moves from the webcam, the mirror's color gamut changes from RGB to CMYK.

DARK ARTS — BORNE AT DAWN

Aušrinė, the morning star in Lithuanian mythology, is the name of a ceramics concern based in the Vilnius region. The logo, a homage to Lithuanian ornamental design, was created using The Sign of Māra that represents earth, water and all creatures within.

THE ARTVERTISER

IMAL, Brussels hosted The Artvertiser, a workshop led by Damian Stewart and Julian Oliver. The aim of the The Artvertiser, is to replace street ads with art using their custom Billboard Intercept Units. I used Processing to create my project, Pixiliate, a composition of pixels whose colors are derived from the ad. Unfortunately, I was unable to see the result of the process due to a few demonstrations and heightened police activity.

Animations soon to follow…

generating faces

EYES EARS NOSE MOUTH

The following images were created by using software that selects and randomizes elements of the face. For these images, I wanted to experiment with similar shapes that we weren't accustomed to associating with the face. What resulted were cartoon-style images that liked to multiply.
