Selected Projects
I enjoy using code to create responsive and generative art. Enjoy some examples of my web-based projects and photo references of other works.
Trans*substantiation
Trans*substantiation is a multi-media installation, mythologizing patterns of transformation within queer identity, nature, and spirituality. The installation consists of an identical animation, sculpture, and augmented reality scene, depicting a pair of illuminated abstract bodies, surrounded by environmental elements.
3D Scanning Workshops
Max leads workshops on their digital portraiture process – including collecting 3D scans, editing the scans, and 3D printing the edited models.
GEMINI
“GEMINI” is a narrative animation about two interconnected souls, exploring the unique bond that trans feminine and trans masculine people share. The narrative follows the characters through the coming of age process; exploring the specific loss of innocence gender queer people endure during this time.
STATIONS OF THE X
“Stations of the X” honors the experience of trans/non-binary people in a world that is increasingly hostile towards gender queer identities. The piece consists of six sculptures – including custom 3D resin prints – and six posters with QR codes directing to a website with accompanying prose pieces.
Hall of Mirrors
Hall of Mirrors considers visibility within a digital network as a double-edged sword, questioning what it means to be visible in a world where we are becoming easier to track.
BELONG
BELONG is an animation expressing support for the trans community in light of nationwide discriminatory legislation.
ENMESHED
ENMESHED is a video render of a 3D sculpture depicting the ecstasy of non-binary gender euphoria achieved through intimacy.
Between the Lines
Between the Lines is a series of poetic and informative posters addressing how language around trans and gender queer people has become embedded with contextual meaning, leading to an inability to communicate across the political spectrum.
The Inevitable of the Unprecedented
The Inevitable of the Unprecedented is a multi-channel projection mapping piece, featuring webcam input and screen recordings. The piece considers the impact of the COVID pandemic on social relationships, grieving friendships that grew distant during quarantine.
Be Here Now
Be Here Now is an interactive visual narrative made with Twine that considers the lack of control one experiences while dreaming. If reached, a lucid dreaming section allows players to gain control and shape the narrative with their own dream experiences.
AURA
AURA is an interactive media installation made with p5.js. Using a live video feed and motion tracking AURA invites viewers to experience their embodied selves reflected in a mirrored digital setting.
Museum of Selfies
Museum of Selfies is a game about social media, and its effects on users’ self-worth, particularly women and femme users. In making this game I reflected on my own experiences with social media, and how it could make me feel like I was on display, like art in a museum.
Hex-Block
Hex-Block is a web-based design program where users build patterns with square tiles containing horizontal, vertical, and slanted lines.
