Momento Mori
April 2011 | Washington State University Vancouver
Net Art

This generative net project was made similarly to a previous piece with a similar format, Forgotten Depths. It is inspired by the theme Momento Mori, a recent loss that I had trouble removing myself from and so I instead hoped it would fuel creativity. I wanted to incorporate images that were abstract and layered upon each other to form a complex moving image that would not be overbearing. The audio is a mixture of many songs that were sampled from genres that don't necessarily blend together to create a maelstrom of varying emotions. As the images progress it changes from the faster dark night into indistinct ghostly shapes being transformed into cybernetic animals.

Translating Interfaces
March 2011 | Washington State University Vancouver
Mobile Website

Translating Interfaces takes the screen version of The Creative Media & Digital Culture (CMDC) Program website and reinterprets it for mobile phones. The design of the mobile version mirrors the screen version but allows for unique opportunities that are only available on a mobile device. This website is the product of a great deal of research, including the screen sizes of popular mobile devices, differences in coding from desktop to mobile and what affordances are specific to mobile devices (i.e. geolocation, remote interface, portable internet radio, maps, etc.). This work was created in collaboration with Hunter Crawford.

Forgotten Depths
March 2011 | Washington State University Vancouver
Net Art

As a study of generative art, Forgotten Depths takes shapes inspired from the depths of the Thaig in Dragon Age and places it within a moving collage. Samples of music were mixed together in order to emulate the mood of these eerie depths.

Cryptography: Secret Writings
June 2010 | Washington State University Vancouver
Website

Inspired in part by the disaster of the Gulf Oil Spill and the origins of cryptography, we created a website that would incorporate language, art technology to have a message. This work was created in collaboration with Hunter Crawford.

Teddy! Don't Go There!
May 2010 | Washington State University Vancouver
Radio Performance Website

A website for the performance of "Teddy! Don't Go There!" at the auditorium at Washington State University campus as well as information about the event; the cast, script, original date and audio of the stream that was originally aired live on KOUG radio. This work was created in collaboration with Hunter Crawford.

Selene and Chandra
March 2010 | Washington State University Vancouver
Text Novel for Mobile Device

Selene and Chandra was created in the design of a "thumb novel," a short story formatted for a touchscreen mobile phone. It is a narrative following twin sisters discovering the supernatural. The interface is customized to fit the theme and setting of the story; paw prints and the story's pivotal dilapidated house embody the navigation, and the background shifts as each sister takes her turn in narration. This work was created in collaboration with Hunter Crawford.
