Abstract Video: Take a Walk!
My final conference project was an expansion on my early experiments (as seen in my previous post). I decided to expand on the abstract concept of what happens in your head when you take a walk. To make the audio-reactive…
Abstract Video: Landscape U
For conference, I produced four passive music videos for the 1996 techno album, Second Toughest in the Infants, produced by the acclaimed duo, Underworld. Four songs were chosen from this album, and the piece had a total runtime of 47…
Drawing Machines: Unfolded
My conference project is about mark making in relation to the body. I wanted to use a “canvas” and colors that reflected childhood and family. The clothes line and the lace strung about is mean to display the art in…
Drawing Machines: Beehive Structure
The object is a 2 foot tower, held together by 6 alternating layers of paper plates, put together by three plates that are folded together in fourths. At the bottom, paer plate stands help it up with the plate folded…
Drawing Machines: Face Folds
Within a similar vein as one of the conference projects crafted by a student in class, one of our projects consisted of folding print-outs of our faces. The folds made were some we were taught in class including pleating, Miura…
Drawing Machines: Garden
The project itself is a work in process, but ultimately, I want a vertical display of pieces of tissue wrapping around wired structures. I want to create 7-12 standing structures of wire (standing on itself) outwards and sew the pinches…
Drawing Machines: Crystal Crease
When we were told not to use paper for our project, I took it very seriously. I wanted to give myself a challenge by using a different material that can fold and crease. Crystal Crease illustrates that depiction. Crystal Crease…
Drawing Machines: My Port’fold’io
Have you ever wondered why paper bends in weird ways? I certainly have. I never thought that folding would be a complex phenomenon. As I experimented with different materials to fold, it caught my interest in learning more about folding,…
Drawing Machines: Pushing Pleats
For my conference project, I conceptualized and designed the construction of a dress. I have been inspired by the more abstract concepts of folding. While I have the utmost respect for the more traditional approach to folding paper, I find…
Drawing Machines: Evolution of Boxes
This piece places a series of paper boxes on a cardboard shelf. Each box has a different construction; some are made of a single piece and held together purely by folds. Another is composed of multiple identical smaller pieces that…
Drawing Machines: Early Folds and Pleats
Miura Ori: I have some low and some high resolution, Miura Ori tessellations in the series. It’s a repeated fold pattern with some points popping in or out and can fold completely flat. At first my motivation for creating this…
Drawing Machines: Early Experiments
This project is made out of paper plates. The goal of this assignment was to make anything using paper plates that reached a height of 2 feet. Unlike a lot of others who went in a more abstract direction, my…
Drawing Machines: Cow Sculpture
Our cow sculpture embodies a journey of creativity and persistence, crafted from humble materials like paper plates and blue masking tape. The inception of this project was sparked by a simple cow ring that captured our imagination, igniting a process…
Drawing Machines: Splash 6
Six shirts: Three tie dyed, two reverse tie dyed by means of bleach, and one with cyanotype. They follow a similar color scheme of yellows, greens, and blues, most being dyed under a pleated folds, which created the look of…
Abstract Video: Mortalpalooza
If Frank Sinatra was headlining the next Coachella, what would the visuals on stage be like? If Ella Fitzgerald sold out Madison Square Garden, what types of visuals would she present? If Billie Holiday was going on tour, what would…
Abstract Video: Early Experiments
Using Touchdesigner, I created a piece called “Eventually No. 1”. The title, along with many of my other projects made in this software, are inspired by the Australian-psychedelic-rock band, Tame Impala. I saw Tame Impala live in Brooklyn back in…
Abstract Video: An Exploration of Time and Place
My final project for abstract video is four videos stitched together to create a four minute video showcasing my shadow walking through the day. Each video shows me walking in a different environment and different forms of abstraction through it…
Abstract Video: Early Experiments
My favorite part of learning Touchdesigner has been rendering objects. A big challenge has been learning how to make the objects move on a 3D plane and take on their own life. The image above is from my favorite early…
Drawing Machines: Hollyhocks Takes The Cake
This object began with my initial paper clip and paper plate constructed sphere from the beginning of the semester; I really liked the form, weight, and appearance of that sphere, and wanted to build this assignment off of that initial…
