Fig 7. OBSTRUCTION + TRANSITIONS
Photography
Continuous exploration of form and self critique. The project starts with a look at two arbitrary objects and evolves into a cycle of iteration, critique, and purposeful response all in search of a generative means to constantly create. Obstruction + Transition are the explorations from a bungee cord and toy ball. The cycle evolved from a study of formal characteristics of objects to an exploration of movement when an obstruction is placed between the camera and the subject.

Fig 6. DIVINE TIME
Divine Time is a browser-based project that holds a three-dimensional transferred version of my mother. Interaction with the chatbot is initiated by the phrase, “Hi, Mom Sorry I Can’t Talk.” which listens for a voice input every fifteen seconds. The responses are populated by an archive of saved voicemails from my mother that I’ve collected over the past few years. I constructed a three-dimensional bust made with various archived photos of my mother to reconstruct her face and head then 3D scanned the object to transfer a version of her into the webspace. This project is meant to explore the methodology of saving in response to the impermanence of time.
