Speakers, Static and Ideal Images

First project involves a speaker that I am building and the second project involves trying to use a mirrored material and an image behind that material so that the viewer has the behind image reflected in their image.

Look closely and you can see the image of the person behind the mirrored material.

"112 Facebook Posts"

Installation view of "112 Facebook Posts." Video included as well (rough)

Facebook project continued

First coat of paint on the boxes that will house the speakers for the Facebook project. Next will be finishing up the painting and attaching the speakers and wire for hanging.

Prototype for speakers

I have gotten the first prototype of the mounted speakers completed. I am hoping to hook up about 10-20 speakers on a board together, each with it's own voice.

"Hi, How Are You?"

Most recent piece that I have been working on. Includes two TVs with different videos playing on each. One video repeats "Hi, How are you?" and the other repeats "I'm Fine, How are you?" Installation was set up in the Sculpture Graduate Studio.

Silhouettes

This project arose from my investigations with creating a barrier between two people. The silhouettes are captured through a screen.

24 Friends

This piece is about the networks within my life. Each wall represents different connections and different groups of people within my life. This piece relates to my social network and a division of lives.

Distance

Another piece that investigated using Skype. This piece featured two TV monitors, back to back, and cameras that pointed at the viewers heads. The idea is that the two people interacting within the space cannot see eye to eye. If person A looks at the camera, person B can see their face, but person A cannot see person B's face.

Connections

This piece was an interactive installation using Skype, lighting, a mirrored material called window tint and phone booth type boxes. The video probably explains it best, but the lights are controlled by a light switch, the screens are too dim to see clearly and the person interacting has no control over the computer.

Pathways

Pathways was a piece I created as a site specific installation. This piece was installed in front of the library as a way to get people to think about their surrounding environment in a different way. The shapes and forms are the streets and sidewalks that surround that immediate area. In this way, the viewer is experiencing the campus in a completely different way.

You Me, Me You

This piece was an investigation into using weaving to talk about the kind of gender implication that can come along with the term. Using two people of opposite genders, I created a mirror image by alternating strips of paper. These images are both a mirror, but different at the same time.

Skeleton Projections

These pieces came from an investigation of using a projector to create new images. I taped the form of a skeleton and projected a live feed of myself performing. I then photographed this skeleton. I see these as some form of self portrait.

Map weaving portraits

These pieces are efforts in making a new land and portrait of a person from their silhouette, and the two states they identify most with. The places where these three components meet are what is kept.

1,134 Minutes

This piece is based off a series of photographs taken in one day. Self portraits were shot every minute for the entirety of my day. Those images were then arrange in a timeline and slices were taken from each minute to distribute the minutes equally through the day.

Data Visualization, etc.

Work that I am doing right now, trying to visualize GPX data that was gathered this summer:

These are just illustrations at the moment, but may become something else. Not too sure.
