Space Time
Space Tme refers to several related phenomena where a clock does not run at the exact right speed compared to another clock. That is, aftersome time the clock “drifts apart” or gradually desynchronizes from the other clock. Everyday clocks such as wristwatches have finite precision. Eventually they require correction to remain accurate. The rate of…

Dijkstra’s Shortest Path
The Dijkstra algorithm solves the single-source shortest path problem.For a given source node in the graph, the algorithm finds the shortest path between that node and every other. It can also be used for finding the shortest paths from a single node to a single destination node by stopping the algorithm once the shortest path…

Hypothetical Machines
Enactments of social media content These hypothetical machines are present but not quite legible. They exist in a state of potentiality. They are informed by the digital even when not in digital format, they are shaped by a sense of data excess and data vulnerability. They are about thought-experiments and speculative enactements. Things Are Not…

#me
One year long every day a new video with animatronics and postings tagged with #me. identity construction through social media #me mimicks the conditions of social media. This work does not answer the multiplicity of identities, but takes up everything in its infinite soliloquy. Animatronics recite content from social network platforms, hinting at the role…

When Plants Sing
Wherever electric current exists, the magnetic field is also induced. This means that plants as all living organisms, which utilize electric current in their biology emit weak electromagnetic fields. This installation makes use of a noncontact method for measuring electric fields for the sonification of the plants. I hear the buzz of the little world…
