A Resolume Arena rendered environment that responds to the sound levels in the exhibition room with an ambisonic Zoom microphone. A sparse sound clip of bird sound accompanies the space to prevent the space from being too quiet and to round out the full presentation in its completion at over eight minutes of viewing time, though the visuals will be different and generative for every presentation. It uses xeno-canto.org for sound clip downloads, Premier Pro to edit the sound c

This research project will examine how soundscapes captured in alpine regions can promote the expansion of environmental awareness practices to encompass survival, protection, and appreciation. It aims to record audio clips of natural ecosystems for editing and comparison of anthrophony-free sound to provoke a deeper understanding of human impact and relationship to nature. It will also demonstrate how soundscape recordings can be accompanied by data-driven short auditory cue

The intent of this research project is to expand environmental awareness practices as means of survival, protection, and appreciation. Environmental awareness is increasingly vital in sustaining the lives of humankind as well as Earth and its ecosystems. Modern capitalistic approaches to sustainability will not matter if there is no longer a habitat for humankind. By collecting data from an environment over the course of field excursions and transcoding them into sonic signi

This research project will be conducted with field expeditions to the alpine regions of Colorado for audio sample collection over the course of Winter in 2022 and 2023. The technical hardware necessary for the field research aspects of this project includes recording devices for deployment and active use as well as a global positioning system with a compass. The Garmin eTrex 32x global positioning system (GPS) can be used to record waypoints and routes, with time and distance

By focusing my research on psycho-ecoacoustics, the exploration will uncover the connection between auditory experience in hearing-abled persons and environmental awareness in the practices of surviving, protecting, and appreciating the environment. Collecting recordings of ecological soundscapes in the alpine regions of Colorado will provide many examples for clear comparisons, as well as the intersections, of the natural and built environments. Clearing sound clips of the m

looking back from even further in the future... Thousands of decades and hundreds of thousands of participants in integrating with the Immunity Chip later, Keerotera’s humanoid population became very much so less human. Due to the technology of the chips system and the data it collected from its user being central to finding the most efficient survival rate, humanoids started live evolving into many different styles of creatures. Previously explored as a solution to the lack

THE BIRTH OF DIGITAL AUDIO In the year 1877, audio recording and reproduction launched through Thomas Edison’s discovery of the cylinder phonograph when attempting to transcribe telegraphic messages. [1] Audio technology quickly adapted, while staying within the limits of recording and playback, next to the gramophone in around 1887 which incorporated flat spinning disks rather than the indented cylinders. The disks allowed music to be more easily mass-produced and thus in

The Theme This collection is an exploration and documentation of the two dominant environments that exist within this adjacent world: the surface dwellers and the underground elites. These two factions diverge in their philosophical beliefs, forged by a history of silence and distrust that has continued to fuel this rivalry for many years. In an attempt to bring these two societies together, this exhibit examines the interaction between undesirable, spiritual materials, and p

Part 1: Individual How does your technology convey a way of being in the world? (Ontology) Being Healthy, Being Together, Being Celebratory How does your technology convey a way of knowing the world? (Epistemology) The way of knowing in Kerotera is a community trusting of a higher being and being one with the environmental resources available. How does your technology convey a way of doing? (Implies a set of actions that can be correct, assumed, prescribed ... but also hacks,

The Amulet: Assistance in World-Crossing This tattoo amulet embraces the functionalities of the immunity tattoo chip after the spiritual technology’s initial injection and integration into the body. The tattoo, beyond strengthening the bond between those who share its publicly visible representation, adjusts the metabolic processes in the body to the most readily available resources. One example is a transfer to a photosynthetic system, changing things even down to a cellular

Critical Reflection In designing a speculative spiritual technology, I most wanted to ensure the plausibility that the fiction could occur realistically as Anthony Dunne and Fiona Raby explain it in Speculative Everything: Design, Fiction, and Social Dreaming. This made the most sense in the context of experiencing other Sci-Fi and thinking “Yeah, that could happen!” The point is to explore alternative cultural practices or shifts, rather than trying to predict the future. I

The Unboxing of an Undesirable Defining UNDESIRABLE: not wanted because harmful, objectionable, or unpleasant. When considering what objects are undesirable, I hoped to consider it from a large-scale opinion rather than a personal qualm I have with liking a thing. It was hardly the object itself, but more so the effects of the object: in this instance a single use plastic from a large corporation. In using the object for its surface level intent, I more or less felt joy, it w

Original 3D Object Original Thoughts & Conceptions Speculative Fiction & Affordance Checklist In a land not unlike our own, the humanoid populations were rapidly shrinking due to the diminishing of their natural resources – they had altered their planet’s atmosphere until it was unsuitable for their own metabolic processes. The planet itself was beyond reparations, reciprocating the treatment it received on those who dare to still inhabit it. Where else would they go? Rather

As the integration of digital practices into human societies continues to rapidly increase, it is imperative that the design of consumer-facing interfaces and user experiences reflect the diverse needs of every user. Reconstructing e-commerce to better imitate what the consumer values when shopping becomes necessity, especially when those values differ from the historically practiced. Those values, according to Rui Tian , COO at Ombori Grid, have changed from the cheapest and

While imagining how society on Earth can better benefit in accessibility, inclusivity, sustainability, and diversity, it would be unfavorable to continue with Bauhausian mass production styles especially with the new growing generation finding preference in bespoke, or haute couture, style design and fashion. To better meet the needs of the differences in each individual on the planet, 3D and AR capabilities can be used to try in space, customize, resize, and save resources w

View Internet Art Cultures Blog on Neocities In the Web 1.0 In order to explore the meanings of both Meatspace and Masking , I started by diving into what they really mean for me. Masks are used to cover up, whether it be to hide our identity, for our health and safety, or even just for fun. In a digital art space, I think it is equally as important to acknowledge masking as a digital art tool, where we are able to take out or hide parts of an image. Using both of these idea

While many were caught dwelling on the negative impacts on our typical normal, I have been

View Internet Art Cultures Blog on Neocities The Terminal: Human Shaped Whole Directed by Jason Isolini Throughout the majority of the 360 video The Terminal: Human Shaped Whole I was honestly pretty confused and almost off put. The style to me directly correlated with some of the haunting memes that have circled the internet such as shrek is love shrek is life (which I advise against watching to due its graphic nature and content) and Jimmy Neutron Happy Family Happy Hour

View Internet Art Cultures Blog on Neocities My CryptoPunk and what it taught me about NFTs CryptoPunk is now considered the first successful NFT art project, originally launched by Larva Labs in 2017 as an experiment. It started with 10,000 free CryptoPunk icons, while they are now digitally sold as NFTs for up to millions of dollars. An NFT, or Non-Fungible Token, means that each digital art piece is individually tracked as its own token through the blockchain. I created 3
