A speculative poetic infrastructure installed on the Cozy-Cloud and made in collaboration with Marianna Marongoni. The work poetically crips the computational clock of the server to enable relations of intimacy and care. This work was presented as part of "Imagination as a sight of struggle" PhD workshop at Mesh Festival with Make/Sense CML FNHW. We also wrote it up into an experimental essay for Brand-New-Life Journal, where we also explain how to run the work.

A fun bit of code made with Sunni Liao to transform etherpads into mermaid diagrams, and enable collective diagrammatic poetry writing.
This work was presented live at Real Bodies 2.1 at Avalon Cafe, alongside Yewen Jin sonifying and remixing these graphs into live music. During the event the audience members added to and edited the etherpad live forming an emergent set of audio visuals for the performance.

The Cozy-Cloud is a critical access server, serving up promises of disability justice trouble, and chronic computational maintenance. This work was originally produced this during a residency at the BDFI, but has now formed into a collaboration with Mariana Marangoni and Yasmine Boudiaf, questioning network time, caring for social and technical infrastructures and figuring out disobedient efficiencies.
This server enables us space to imagine and practice what network infrastructures might be able of if approached through

Neural Re-Rresentation is a computational artwork that explores enabling RL agents to represent and communicate their environment to one another. To do this in the Reinforcement Learning (RL) environment, I enabled agents to communicate through a visual plane to one another, which was also their only representation of their environment. This relation questioning how collectives of RL agents are able to represent space and work together, but through a way that humans can also see and perceive. This work in action forms beautiful abstract patterns and revolving gradients which are the RL agents playfully communicating to one another, movements and dancing with one another.
This work alongside others were presented at 4S in Cholula 2022, in both the making and doing exhibition as well as a panel called "Future imagining and the cultivation of possibility", organised by Rachel Horst, and Esteban Morales.

A pipeline I made to use Pix2Pix model within a 3D rendering pipeline, I trained the ML model on 3D scanned minerals and crystals to generate intricate and complex textures for rendering minerals that came from their materiality. This was an exploration into how we can emerge other sorts of rendering and imaging that don't rely on the sudo efficient models of 3D rendering, such as ray tracing and Perlin noise.
This work was presented at ArtMachines2 at HKCity U as part of the "Digital Design Phenomenologies" panel in 2021.

Made during the pandemic as a way to process my own mixed emotions. . .
This work forms Gooey Emojis, created procedurally, to produce an almost endless mix of emotions. Produced between Houdini and Blender using fluid simulations with varying forces, densities and textures to produce emergent and unexpected emotional goop.
