lushREDblush, 2011

As the Internet invades and pervades more and more of our lives a new form of social interaction has become common.  lushREDblush explores this new interaction, examining the idea of a normal everyday woman transforming herself into a sexual being using the Internet. Her character plays with the idea of wanting and being wanted. Her interactions with the web cam represent a new wave of seduction, one using the physical body as a tool to create 2-dimentional pseudo-interactions. This version of the piece is taking the Internet persona and placing her into the physical world, making the two collide. lushREDblush’s world is based on the idea of what the cyber world would look like.

Nothing, 2011
Interactive sound and video piece.

This is a live video and sound piece I performed with Luther Wong. Luther Wong improvised on the Piano while I mixed the video to the sound. The video footage is taken from archive.org. I then mixed the footage in final cut pro in preparation for the live performance.

Vessel’s The Fertility Dress

 

Vessel is a series of garments specially designed for the female body. Using cutting edge technology embedded into the fabric these garments are able to monitor the actions and physical well being of the female. The Fertility Dress responds to internal stimulus and changes colors based on menstruation cycle and the cleanliness of the wearer. The dress turns blue when ovulating, red when menstruating, and glows white with excellent hygiene and yellow with poor hygiene.
