Surface Tension, my latest installation is at @showstudio @showstudio_gallery until March 12th !

M-F 10:30-18:00
Sat Sun 11:00-16:00

It has neurons, optical tweezers, a double mirror sculpture, a 7-channel video piece, lasers, 10 precariously balanced c stands, a slide projector turned into microscope, 3 cameras, one CRT, all sequenced and cued live with bits of generative moments and if we’re lucky maybe a drone 😀

It’s been a whole adventure putting this one together! @nick_knight reached out to me over a year ago to offer the beautiful space @showstudio for me to create work in. I’d been sitting on it until I received the support of the Steve Jobs Archive to set myself out on an all-consuming project.

It began with the goal of capturing life in image, but instead of the human scale, at the microscopic scale. The installation features a micro-cinema where I used neurons (brain cells) as actors under a microscope by physically nudging them around a glass slide using optical tweezers - a device that can manipulate small matter using the kinetic energy of light. More on the other layers later.

Big thank you to @yiiiiiiitong for the neurons 🧠 and all the advice, @sallylab for all the experiments in the very beginning :) and Jatin Abacousnac and David Grier for all the help on the optical tweezers to get to this microscopic animation.

Another big thank you to the incredible SHOWStudio team I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know and work with! From the sweetest gallery assistant @holliehunsdale, incredible installation photographer among many other things @larasugarhughes, Denise for beautiful design, @_christinadonoghuefor translating into beautiful words, @michaelgossage @kasianotkash, Esme and Nicola for constantly documenting the whole process, @gracehodgsonphoto for c stands, Andy, Brad for putting them in the air, @kalimcmillan and everyone who put up with my two weeks of tech and chaos.

And a huge thank you to @nick_knight and Charlotte for trusting me and giving me the space to make whatever I wanted and welcoming the chaos and fragility of it all. It feels sacred every time I get to throw my life out the window and put something together.

Spitballs - a series of simulations in which language is rendered as a fluid organism born from a parasitic virus. The virus causes the spit of their hosts to become embedded with a latent phrase. As it rolls off the tongue, the non-Newtonian sentient blob traverses a field of words in 3D space, binding them into a sentence. The resultant phrases carry fragments of advice discreetly seeded by an alien civilization, using this shadow channel of human communication as a mode of influence.

I reproduced Hewitt and Manning’s structural probe paper, then built an environment in Houdini so I could collide particles into various probe-arranged phrases. The simulation repeatedly tests the relationship between the formal structures of language and this organic byproduct of speech thrown at it over and over again, attempting, often imperfectly, to realize those structures.

Spent a ton of time in Houdini again mostly suffering and trying to make a fluid system robust enough, also built out this fun web. Detailed interview/write up on the full web out soon (there are 100 of these lol), but mostly just thinking a lot these days about the role of aesthetics in translating systems beyond our logical reasoning capacities into human-sized understandings (and how that is the work that artists do ⭐️).

The resultant phrases carry fragments of advice discreetly seeded by an alien civilization, using this shadow channel of human communication as a mode of influence.

I reproduced Hewitt and Manning’s structural probe paper, then built an environment in Houdini so I could collide particles into various probe-arranged phrases. The simulation repeatedly tests the relationship between the formal structures of language and this organic byproduct of speech thrown at it over and over again, attempting, often imperfectly, to realize those structures.

Spent a ton of time in Houdini again mostly suffering and trying to make a fluid system robust enough, also built out this fun web. Detailed interview/write up on the full web out soon (there are 100 of these lol), but mostly just thinking a lot these days about the role of aesthetics in translating systems beyond our logical reasoning capacities into human-sized understandings (and how that is the work that artists do ⭐️).

Spitballs - a series of simulations in which language is rendered as a fluid organism born from a parasitic virus. The virus causes the spit of their hosts to become embedded with a latent phrase. As it rolls off the tongue, the non-Newtonian sentient blob traverses a field of words in 3D space, binding them into a sentence.

Wendi Yan & Karyn Nakamura on the Artifice of Knowledge By Wendi Yan @wendiyan & Karyn Nakamura @frog_spit_simulation

Yan and Nakamura are artists, technologists—and friends. In the following conversation, a glimpse into their everyday “joint psychoanalysis,” Yan and Nakamura discuss the origins of their practices, which circle the same questions from different angles. They cover the inseparability of image- and knowledge-making, knowledge as an artificial construction, and the tools that make them feel like gods.

Spent the last three months making up for all the years I’ve taken the multi view geometric processing system on my face for granted and built an auto calibration pipeline for 34 projectors from first principles. Probably means nothing to most people, but I got totally consumed by this problem bc I love infrastructure :)

Grateful to have a much deeper appreciation of images as a tool to measure the world, it is absolutely insane what u can do with 22 eyeballs, corners, and a bunch of math I will never get over it !! ✨✨✨ And grateful for @moonharvey @spectra__studio for throwing me into the deep end and cheering me on 😭

Ok now who wants to do crazy stuff with tracking and cameras and projection???
