Steampunk Clock

March 12, 2014

This is a Steampunk clock I coded in Processing and exported to javascript. It keeps time and the gears jump or rotate with each hour, minute and second. It doesn't really tell the time, but who needs that out of a clock anyway?

My project deals with the question, how does technology mediate our relationships with each other? Does it contribute or disrupt human closeness and connection?

Data Crystals: Journal Designs for Arts for Survival

March 12, 2014

Here is a selection of journal designs I created for the Arts for Survival class. The focus of the class is to create a live action role play to help heal the survivors of human trafficking by use with their case workers. Each one represents a "Data Crystal" which is a futuristic technology that allows participants to record their thoughts throughout the game we are designing.

The journal designs are all unique. Each stamp is hand cut and pressed with watercolor paints.

DATALAND did not appear from nowhere. In 2016, Gray Area and Google presented what has been described as the first exhibition of generative AI art. That same year, Meow Wolf opened a world audiences could physically enter. Later, through Gray Area’s Experiential Space Research Lab, I explored how immersive environments could do more than entertain. They could encourage agency, critical thinking, and new relationships between people, technology, and living systems. Now Refik Anadol’s DATALAND brings those histories together through AI, environmental data, biosensing, and responsive space. The biggest shift is not simply that AI has entered the museum. The museum itself is becoming a living system. I wrote about the longer history behind this Reel, what excites me about DATALAND, and the ethical questions a responsive museum must confront.

A lot of the AI conversation right now is about what machines can create. This story is about what they might help us recover. Researchers at Santa Clara University have developed an AI Provenance Assistant to help researchers trace artworks stolen during the Nazi era—searching across fragmented historical records and surfacing connections that might otherwise take enormous amounts of time to find. The AI doesn’t decide who owns a work. Humans still have to verify the evidence. But it can help researchers find the evidence. To me, this is a much more interesting vision of AI: not replacing human expertise, but giving people new ways to navigate enormous amounts of human knowledge. And sometimes, helping recover a history someone tried to erase. Read the full NPR story at the 🔗 link in my bio. #ArtificialIntelligence #AI #ArtHistory #DigitalHumanities #CulturalHeritage
