@Hayes Valley Market Whispering Islands Installation with thread, felt, and sound electronics.
old video stills
These are screenshots from live video processes I've created using MaxMSP/Jitter, GLSL, etc. These processes typically blend OpenGL 3D rendering tools with pixel processing and custom GLSL programs. Many of the paramaters are controlled by an audio source. A lot of this stuff never gets recorded or edited down to a finished product. Thus these screenshots are often the only record of a developing moment in time that is the culmination of hours of programming and adjusting the parameters of often unstable processes.
tiny continent
During the process of making my work, I often play with these little bits of things lying around the studio. I like to create piles, clusters, and landscapes with these simple materials and forms. This photo series depicts the playful little world that I inhabit during the creative process.
whispering islands
Preparations for a site-specific installation planned for the Hayes Valley Market space. I'm expanding on previous installation techniques with thread and felt, by building these little floating felt islands. There will be seven such islands, each embedded with simple sound making electronics that create intermittent, rhythmic bursts. The islands will be dispersed throughout the space, suspended from a mesh of thread. I'm also considering adding some simple mechanical sound components as well, but we'll have to see if there is time. The pillowy shapes were a false start where I thought I was going to make the islands stuffed. In the end I decided to just use the structure of the felt to create the forms.
